Funny you're showing up as downvoted, but this is absolutely right. Apple is testing their search abilities with URL autocomplete and it's surprisingly good. It's gotten much better in the last 6 months in particular.
I'm answering the musing from the person I replied to:

There was recent controversy about Roald Dahl's books getting revised (and he said himself 'change one word [in my books] and deal with my crocodile'), yet he also made revisions in his own lifetime for the same reason (https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2023/02/21/woke-w...)
I highly recommend following Ken Shirriff on Twitter, some great threads on the work he does to keep machines running at the Computer History Museum. https://twitter.com/kenshirriff
Maybe it's explained in Doom Guy, but why does the author use "ATS" as the TLA for "Adaptive Tile Refresh"? I can't find any references other than this article.
I get that for whatever reason folks like yourself don't want to believe it, but trust me, masks work. Just ask anyone who works in asbestos abatement or BSL-2+ facilities.

I'll take a reduced risk, even if it's not perfect. Would you prefer to get covid one time, or five times? It's like arguing "why bother wearing a seatbelt, when it doesn't prevent injuries in accidents?"
Also, are you suggesting masking does not help with preventing influenza infection?
