I look for jobs online in my field, then get a bunch of job titles that have NOTHING to do with what I’m looking for. Why?!

What's the point of using a search engine on a job seeking website like indeed or linkedin when you just get a bunch of unrelated jobs that don't have anything to do with your field or search term? Or they just take one word in your search and tailor the results to that word and that word specifically (like associate or specialist). Like, if I'm looking for graphic design or admin jobs, I don't expect to find a crap ton of IT openings. As if struggling to get calls back from job applications isn't bad enough, just searching for jobs feels like my current experience using Google without enabling the “verbatim” setting. And let's not forget the many jobs that don't have a salary or hourly wage listed, that shit grinds my gears especially. That's important information for candidates and should be accessible.
