wrong conclusion.
what your test above shows is that google considers 'power supply' and 'power adapter' to be equivalent in meaning, which is exactly what i've been saying.
Google does not "consider" anything. Google is not sentient. It matches search terms to results as a result of an algorithm. What it's doing is matching a search term with what you could mean with, in this case, "Apple iPhone Power" being enough to match it to "Apple Power Adapter". It finds no results for "power supply" in that context, so it reverts to associations where there are results.
add google to the long list of things you know nothing about.
that algorithm you mention considers a lot of stuff, much more than you realize. google knows quite a bit, so much so that some people are creeped out by it.
you also have no idea what a search for 'power supply' returns (in any context), or what google does before presenting the results to you. you're once again, talking out your ass.
you're also arguing against yourself. on one hand you say google doesn't consider anything and on the other you say they do exactly that via 'an algorithm'.
That's because I have an understanding of the meaning of the word "consider" that is beyond your understanding. To consider something is to think about it. An algorithm does not have the capacity to think. Evidently, a trait you share.
you may think you know about word meanings, but you clearly do not, at least in the context of algorithms, nor do you know what algorithms can even do, nevermind what google does regarding search results.
the fact is that google considers a *slew* of information in ranking (or even including in) the results it presents.
not only that, but the results can be different depending on who is doing the search based on what it knows about that person. for example, a techie searching for 'apple' will get different results than a farmer.
and that's just scratching the surface.
bottom line: not only are you wrong, but you aren't even in the ballpark. you're talking out your ass.
