Search Engines Fail To Identify ‘Kris London,’ Return A DJ, A Café, A Brand, And A Cat

A London body reports the search ‘kris london’ is so vague algorithms cycle through a musician, a cafe, a streetwear label, and a cat. Mock-news.

SILICON ROUNDABOUT – A London data authority has confirmed that the search query ‘kris london’ remains algorithmically unresolvable, with search engines cycling confidently between a DJ, a pop-up restaurant, a streetwear label, and a cat named Kris who lives in Hackney and has 4,000 Instagram followers.

Kris London: The Search Query That Refuses To Commit

The two-word combination – a first name and a city, each common enough to mean almost anything – has been described by the invented Bureau of Hopelessly Vague Queries as “the most democratically useless search term in the entire London-related canon.”

“A person searching ‘kris london’ could want a DJ, a hairdresser, a tattoo artist, a streetwear brand, a motivational speaker, or the cat,” said a spokesperson for the made-up Institute of Two-Word Mystification. “The algorithm provides all of the above, in rotation, in the hope that one of them is correct. This strategy works roughly 20 percent of the time.”

How To Search For Kris London More Effectively

Adding a third word resolves everything, the Bureau notes: “kris london dj” narrows it considerably, while “kris london tattoo” takes you elsewhere entirely, and “kris london cat” returns four accounts, all of them delightful. Music and culture in the city is thoroughly documented by Discogs and AllMusic, while the broader London scene is mapped by Visit London.

The Bureau’s London data showed that 71 percent of ‘kris london’ searches are followed immediately by a second, more specific search, indicating that the user has reconsidered the strategy and is approaching the problem from a different angle.

“The internet is very good at finding specific things,” the spokesperson explained. “It is considerably less good at guessing which specific thing you mean when you type a first name and a city with no further context. This is less a flaw in the internet than a flaw in the query.”

The Bureau’s London panel attempted to resolve ‘kris london’ definitively and after forty minutes produced a shortlist of eleven candidates, three of which were the same cat in different photographs.

“The cat is, by follower count, currently winning,” the spokesperson admitted. “We recommend adding a noun. Any noun. The search for kris london immediately improves, usually to something involving the cat.”
