I did the same search and if you consider these to be decent quality results we should just agree to disagree because we value information differently.

I'm curious what you're expecting to be returned here. How can there be "quality" results when the information you're searching for doesn't exist?

I would expect results from reputable publications and not gpt filled click farms. I expect content that is information dense instead of padded and packed with keywords. I expect results that don't have a pointlessly huge number of redundant headers and subheaders that only exist for SEO purposes. I expect a huge bias towards original sources or sites that directly link original sources. And if I'm searching for information that doesn't exist I expect it to be clear right on the results page that this is the case.

Who exactly is it you're expecting to produce a high quality information dense web page to say Elder Scrolls hasn't been released so that google can rank it higher?

Are you arguing every information void should be filled? If things are not there, there should be no results. Not spam or other inaccurate stuff that doesn't help anyone.

I don't care if there's no results. I would rather have just the words "there is no release date" than 15 different chatgpt generated click farms.
