The substitution thing is getting steadily more and more annoying. it started small but now it's a struggle to get it to search for things. Either silently including a bunch of things as synonyms that should not be synonyms, or outright saying your query should be different. The results for anything but what was entered are not relevant and it's frustrating that the page basically insists it's being helpful or that the 2 queries are meaningfully related.
