How Can GOOGLE Fail at Searches – Google Fiber Review

It’s really quite amazing how bad the search functionality is with this app (and Google Fiber itself). Example: The Oscars are tonight. I’m not home and wanted to record the show. Dare I try on e again to use this worthless app to find a show and record it? Oh, why not? I’ve got 29 minutes to kill. I found 14 “The Oscars” titles, NONE OF WHICH had any “upcoming airtimes” that I could set to record. I finally used the guide and just kept advancing hours until I found it. Why are there 14 “The Oscars” in the first place? Because Google wants you to know that there were Oscar ceremonies on TV in 1952 as well. Why does this matter? It doesn’t, but you still cannot find what you’re looking for and record it. What’s the point of a app like this? I dunno, ask every other cable provider. They seem to have their own issues, but finding a show that comes on TV six hours from now is not one of them. Google is exceptional at finding things. How can it be this horrible at the only task you’d need from an app like this? Answer: it’s okay. you have the same issues when searching from the Google Fiber set-top box.
