Ok, I’m going to call b/s here unless your expectations of Google have not gone way down over the years. Google was night and day different results twenty years ago vs ten years ago vs today. If 2004 Google search was a “10 out of 10”, then 2014 it was an “8 out of 10”, and today barely breaks a “5” in quality of results in comparison and don’t even bother with the advanced query syntax you could’ve used in the 00’s, they flat ignore it now.

(Also, side note, reread what you said in this post again. Just a friendly note that the overall tone comes across a certain way you might not have intended)
