Make no mistake, Google Search is absolute shit. The larger issue though is that in general search is absolute shit. I have a sizable library in my 1 bedroom apartment. It's about 1500 books. For the record I'll say if you find a local carpenter to work with, you can store a ton of books no matter the space you have. Also use Thriftbooks, I love Amazon but it's amazing how cheap things are on Thriftbooks. Anyway I am also a DevOps Engineer which means I live and breath technology. I have every Apple product, including Carplay and an Apple Router (hah i view those as pretty niche), I also have a Windows computer because I think the Surface does some cool things. Despite all this tech, I am CONSTANTLY AMAZED how much faster I find answers in books, and particularly reference books. It will really shock you and make you question your world once you realize how much info Google hides from you. A GREAT field to look into is "Information Architecture". These people are really amazing and you'll see all of them, the entire field (which is extraordinary for an academic discipline) look down on Google. The analogy that comes up time and again is Google is to information what McDonalds is for food, a poor / quick substitute. Additionally you need to realize that unlike your local library or other sources, Search has been so polluted by marketers (which to be fair is understandable, they go where the customers are) that you really have to question all of the info you've found. Literally every time you search there are literally 10 million marketers trying to get you something else than what you wanted. I had a friend tell me the other day that "the real Google is Google Scholar". If you're looking for high quality info you can't go wrong there, and you can then head over to www.sci-hub.io or whatever it is and pick up the PDF. Google Scholar gave me tremendous respect for the research colleges and universities put out, and the benefits they've accrued by taking the business out of information.
