> Google feels like it can practically read my mind with minimal context, like knowing I also may be talking about a recent event that shares the name with a generic search term. And I'm not talking about personalized search.

I wish there was some compromise, because Google regularly seems to read another mind than my own, automatically "correcting" search terms to terms with similar spelling that are totally irrelevant to my search or including what is superficially synonymous but for my purposes irrelevant in the results. I frequently feel like I have to convince Google to stop second-guessing me and actually consider what I wrote rather than what it assumes I meant.

A few more knobs and switches to adjust that behavior would be helpful at least for power users.
