It used to be that I could take whatever was written on the PCB of an ISA card, or remember a handful of misspelled English words of a song from an old anime soundtrack, put them in a search engine and immediately find out which card was that, or what songs those words belonged to. No matter how obscure the topic, a very specific bit of information would yield exactly what I was looking for. That doesn't work anymore.

If you stop and think about it, the idea of being able to sift in a fraction of a second through almost the entire breadth of human knowledge is an extraordinary ability. It was a truly amazing tool, a significant step forward in human development. How was it possible that a handful of misguided C-suite executives managed to effectively destroy one of the most powerful tools that we had to deal with knowledge? It's insane if you stop and think about it for a second.
@gabrielesvelto I suggest kagi.com - pay a smallish fee to get search results ad free and (in my experience) really pretty good on relevance and cover
