1. does not understand basic Google search strategies (for instance: Using apostrophes to search for exact Matches 2. then deduces that any "result" must be an exact result and not just a subset of any n-gram of the words entered in the search query 3. after which he tries to load a lot of results, only to get pinched out by Google's "likeliness filter" - which also protects Google from too costly deep-text searches (which in the vast majority of use cases are not beneficial to the user anyway) and then 4. finally accuses Google of fraud and "growth hacking" - thus starting to play bullshit bingo.
