   I do a lot of searches.   
      
   Gemini summaries are at the 5-10% level. Most   
   searches just return links. The number of returned   
   links varies with time of day. Sometimes, I only   
   get one page of links and no next page button.   
      
   That's why, when three searches in a row have a   
   Gemini summary at the top, that's some kind of miracle.   
      
   I have tried experimenting with context sensitive search.   
   The first is a keyword search.   
   The second is intended to trigger Gemini summary.

   The syntax is supposed to differentiate an attempt   
   to trigger Gemini summary, versus not doing it.   
   The first query does not contain enough sentence   
   structure, for the AI filtering to make a high   
   probability conclusion about what you're asking.   
   It then just finds links that might contain   
   the keywords. Sometimes a Google search uses   
   a "spelling lame" when it gets bored. Ask for   
   ASM1066, it returns Analog Devices ADM1066.   
   Gee, thanks.
