Google is so spammy I now instinctively use other search methods at times. Which is very interesting, because doing so is high friction. But it's so spammy out there that pain(spam) > pain(friction).
It is not to be "un-Google" but because I get better results.
For example searching in a good subreddit can be more fruitful, giving answers from genuine people in moderated parts of the internet. If you get crap then try another subreddit - some mods are better than others.
Is this a business opportunity - I think so, although I have no idea how you would go about it. Maybe a decent search engine for programmers would be a good start! E.g. "Exception Message XYZ" + site with decent answers.
