"I almost never get useful results out of a web search" This I find impossible to believe. So you basically don't get any useful results for 80-90% of your sea

  Ok, here's a few real example where I had only partial (but 100% correct) information had a hard time finding the right answer: 1. There's a shell (program) which feature a built-in file manager inspider by ranger, I forgot its name: try to find it. Answer: [1] 2. There's a particular gas that can (temporarily) kill a smartphone, but you forgot which. Find the article about this. Answer: [2] 3. There's a blog post (well-known if you're into networking) that argues IPv6 was meant to replace MAC addresses. Answer: [3] [1]: https://elv.sh/ https://elv.sh/ [2]: https://www.ifixit.com/News/11986/iphones-are-allergic-to-helium https://www.ifixit.com/News/11986/iphones-are-allergic-to-he...

    1. Only finds it if something in the line of "programming language and interactive shell with built-in file manager" for less, it indeed misses. 2. "(this) gas causes smartphones to temporarily deactivate" second result 3 "blog post ipv6 was supposed to replace MAC adresses" 3rd result In some cases some slight change in the wording changes the ranking drastically. However, I am not sure "The old good google" would find these at all honestly.
