20+ years ago, I could search for exactly what I wanted. Today's search engines often give me a page or so of irrelevant but popular results before I find what I need.
I think that's a little silly, You can get a google search to look for hyper specific stuff it just requires a little bit of massaging. It was not at all true that there was no massaging required when asking Jeeves for something.
Good luck getting hyper specific stuff now that Google isn't including most of the web in their index anymore. Google quality is the same as AskJeeves was. That's where we ended up with no AltaVista and bing copying results from google.
