The word search for "fart" shows the tool's limits. No entry I saw actually said the word fart, but was listed as doing so -- "fart nawor" (hearts around the world irl), the penny farting (the penny farthing irl), etc.
This would be an interesting additional layer for google maps search which I often find to be lacking. For example, I was recently travelling in Gran Canaria and looking for places selling artesan coffee in the south (spoiler: only one in a hotel which took me almost half an hour to even find).

You can also get the models to predict age and sometimes even things like double-glazing.
