It is not only that. This search specifically is something that it's impossible because if the search worked, those "places out of the beaten path" the author is searching for, would immediately become popular and they wouldn't be true results anymore. They not being "indexed" by Google (or the internet in general) is what makes them the way they are.

Sort of like how I hope no one ever learns about my city/state and it can keep being pleasant and affordable.

It's not difficult to find info on Ko Lanta or Croatian resorts on Google. Its not invisibility that keeps them relatively quiet, it's the sheer amount of competition. The reason even a fairly advance NLP system is going to struggle to find what the author considers to be the "Ko Lanta of Croatia" is that they can't read the author's mind about qualities associated with Ko Lanta, so they're going to highlight islands, not "small, quiet resort villages with $10-$20 rooms and hammocks" (Not really Croatia's "vibe" though I suspect the OP would probably like most Croatian islands anyway...). The same is going to be true even if you put in strings that return comparisons humans directly make themselves like "Venice of Asia".

Some off the beaten path places stay off the beaten path because they're genuinely hard to get to. https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Previously_Off_the_beaten_path https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Previously_Off_the_beaten_pat...
