What's an example of a search that fails to find what you need?

There's been a dozen things I've tried to search on HN, for example, looking for keywords and there's literally dozens of other links with similar topics that prevents me from finding what I looked for.

Various programming questions. Don't have an example right now, sorry.

You can use "!hn duckduckgo" that usually works better.

I doubt that works "better" and certainly there is no bang for every site.
