There's an inherent tension between search and interpretation of terms.
Searching is most valuable when something is hard to find. If it's hard to find, then there's no way around being precise.
Correcting for sloppy queries only works when there are a limited number of things to look for and everyone is looking for one of those.
Making it easy for 90% of people to find 90% of the things they ask is in conflict with the ability for anybody to find the things which aren't easy to find in the first place. Leading, maybe, to those things effectively getting eliminated from the internet.
