Google Personalized - a long way to go?
Google Search: culo review
I was searching for "Culo review" to find out more about this hip-hop song by Pitbull called "Culo", the SERP has a lot of results that are not relevant to my info needs so I decided to test Google personalized. So my profile on Google personalized is skewed towards music. Funny thing is while the regular Google search shows a relevant music review site with user reviews of the song as result no. 1, Google personalized with the "Personalize" scale set at "Max" shows the relevant result at No. 10! What's happening with personalization? Anyway, with the search modified to "Culo pitbull review", both the regular and the personalized site show relevant results.
I would expect a personalized search to be able to make a best guess as to what I am looking for. Google works fine when I add the additional context of "Pitbull" - but that's the missing part of the puzzle that Personalization should be able to fill. That is, be able to guess what keywords/context I may have missed, based on my preferences/previous searches, and use that to prioritze my results.
