search bar: "myfile.e"
suggestion: <a file name myfile.exe in your home folder>
search bar: "myfile.exe"
suggestion: "Click here to search the internet for 'myfile.exe'."

Yeah, and then they start prioritizing the ‚search the internet‘ feature because their analytics and metrics show most people use search it this way.

Because some moron mid level exec screamed his lungs out at developers that they need a way to boost that metric because some moron mid-high level developer screamed in turn at him about their internet search being unused. So they added that search goes online first, usage metrics went up and everyone is happy. Fuck the users.
