Keyword searches with an understanding of search syntax was always king.
Isn’t that only because of the limitations of the available technology only being able to handle simple strings, though? Conversational computing has been a pipe dream since early sci-fi, where characters would talk to their computers as if they were human; George Jetson never spoke to Rosie in keyword queries.
I feel like keyword search syntax being “king” is more of a symptom, than an intentional choice.

You realise that the reason conversational computing is so popular in science fiction, is because it looks better on camera, right.
