Dear search engines:

If you run out of relevant results to show me, then just tell me I've reached the end so I can either choose better search terms or make a decision with what there is.

Stop trying to stretch your list with an endless stream of absurdly irrelevant results. All it does is waste my time, waste your resources, & make me conclude *you're* irrelevant.

@arielmt Seriously! And they all do this. I should be able to give a search engine words A, B, and C, and see matches where all three appear. Instead, they'll happily show two word matches, likely fuzzed too, as when looking for remote jobs - I found Startpage also returning matches for "control" instead of "remote".
