    this is wrong, because today you won’t find the thing you’re looking for at all. Just 100 results where one word of your 5 word query vaguely matches.

      And then you notice that your search term was “corrected” to something completely different. Looking at you too, Amazon.

        Fuuuuuuuck Amazon is even worse, if that’s possible. You used to be able to search for a product and would get that as the first result or at least on the first page. Now, they just return shit that is vaguely related but is a paid sponsor or someone manipulating their search algorithms.

      but this doesn’t depict results you’re looking for in “now” unless you assume it is a product search.

      edit: I see the yellow is supposed to be the same result. I am ashamed
