I don't know what pissed me off more, watching my mom write a book into the google search bar because she refuses to just use the key words or the fact that it gave her the exact info she wanted immediately despite being somewhat niche.
Well, using a more complex search does improve results...
Using a different example, would "apple pie recipe" be less complex of a search than "What do I need to cook an apple pie and how do I do it?"
Edit - As far as a search engine cares.
AFAIK the two are identical, and words such as "how", "do" and "what" are mostly ignored by the engine. The only content words in both are "apple" "pie" and "recipe"/"cook".
depends on kind of complexity
