I'm not sure it's a case of 'knows' but rather there are predetermined 'guardrails' set that (in some cases) can be subverted rather easily by simply rephrasing the query in a different manner.

With respect to Search I hope that we retain the 'classic' search options for years to come so that folks wanting to do their own further critical thinking and research on a given subject/topic can still do so.

What an interesting time to be alive :)
