Let's all collectively cut this 1.7 trillion dollar market cap company some slack. They only made all their money indexing and storing data for the last 20 years, they can't be expected to know how to not return results. They've never had to do that before, they just return everything you can type in right away.
Give me a break, especially the "googler" in this thread.

No. Just no. This is a 1.7 trillion dollar company. They can spend some of that money fixing the broken system they created, but they chose no. So no slack will be cut/granted from me to them.
>they just return everything you can type in right away.
No they don't. They return something that is most monetarily beneficial to them whether that is relevant to you or not.
Because the biggest hoop is that the data is not located in just one place. It's the internet, so the data is shared/duplicated as fast as it becomes available. You have no idea how many places it lives because not all places are available for public browsing. Some one buys it, then resells it ad nauseam.
