Yeah, I remember how it felt when I first used Google. You could search something like "xck-956-fg" and some obscure part would show up. Obviously they have amazing technology as some of that "magic" is still there when you can search items by just taking a picture, so this is a choice on their part to have horrible search. I use Kagi now as I can tune my searches with rankings and the results are quite good. I am sure Google could create the best and most amazing search experience with little effort. I would happily pay $20 a month for that service. For now, Kagi and LLMs have brought some of the utility back for search and I am optimistic as the technology of AI improves that information retrieval will significantly improve as search providers will be forced to compete and the technology will evolve
