They've been overriding my decisions when searching for such things as Qweery and Sinequa, even if I put quote marks around the exact text. I agree that automated query expansion works better in site context than in the web, though some huge sites like Netflix still have problems. I think autocomplete is one alternate way of doing query expansion that is more clear to users, and easier to override. Avi @ searchtools PS your Qweery service looks very interesting, and I hope to find time to learn more about it. I’ve been very frustrated with google’s auto-correction lately.
