So if you type cats but the item is called pets get no results. Now the ai can find context based matches in the auto complete list.

Google added context search to Gmail and it's infuriating. I'm looking for an exact phrase that I even put in quotes but Gmail returns a long list of emails that are vaguely related to the search word.

    That is indeed a poor use. Searching traditionally first and falling back to it would make way more sense.

    It shouldn't even automatically fallback. If I am looking for an exact phrase and it doesn't exist, the result should be "nothing found", so that I can search somewhere else for the information. A prompt, "Nothing found. Look for related information?" Would be useful.

    But returning a list of related information when I need an exact result is worse than not having search at all.
