saw some data on what gemini actually searches for when it's trying to be "grounded." it's basically just machines running long-tail junk that no human would ever type. most of these queries are only about 6 or 7 words long, but they're all weirdly specific like
>lithography deposition etching dopingit's not even real search behavior, just strings of keywords dumped into a prompt to find facts. seeing stuff like "best indie games of 2025" being used as a primary query makes me wonder if we're even tracking the right thing anymore.
the search volume for these is probably zero it's all just nonsense strings of terms. does anyone actually know how to track these specific machine-driven fragments?
