A comment on Is it time to stop trusting Google search?. Parent comment
* You have to navigate a half dozen pages to get to what you want assuming you can navigate the maze of links.
* Site search incompletely indexes the site.
* Site search has poor ranking. Twenty pages of press releases and other crap mentioning what you want before the actual info.
* Site search doesn't handle spelling mistakes so you get no results.
* Site search doesn't handle related topics so if you search for the wrong or alternate phrase you miss what you need.
* No site search feature at all.
So yeah, search engine is my first choice.
