    I’ve never used questions to search, I use keywords, even with Google. So if I want info on the Russia-Ukraine war, I’ll search “Russia-Ukraine War”. If I want casualty numbers, I’ll add “casualties” there, probably at the start if I want to emphasize it. Searching “how many people have died in the ukraine war” has never been something I do.

    That said, natural language search may be more useful with AI tools though, but for regular search, I’ve always used keyword-dense queries, roughly ordered by priority in the query (important terms first).
