- tim333 2y agoI was going to say on any HN thread about Google search the top comments are usually that it's all broken but it seems to work mostly fine for my purposes. OK it's not perfect but nothing is. Also if it's broken why does it have 90%+ share? I occasionally try other ones and they are worse in some ways. Even the sainted Kagi - I wanted to know something trivial and it wouldn't tell me without creating an account with name and email so I thought sod that and googled it. It actually has some remarkably good features that it didn't in the early days. If you are looking for a physical place you can get reviews of it, a street view of the outside, travel directions and so on pretty easily. I can recall being thwarted once in the last year or so when I was trying to figure what brand of tooth fillings I'd had and the search was filled with general dental info rather than filling brands which is more of a dental trade thing. ChatGPT was way better on that (was sonicfill). Apart from that mostly good.
