How are search and recommendations the same, and how are they different?

• Question on Mastodon
• Question on Twitter

TL;DR:

• The design of both search and recommendations is to find and filter information
• Search is a "recommendation with a null query"
• Search is "I want this", recommendations is "you might like this"
