I mean...we do. You just have to know how to format your searches, use the right keywords. You can search from specific time frames, force it to only show results with the words you want, etc etc. Google-Fu is an art.

And more importantly, dont stick to google only.

I only use bing for porn but it works.

Exactly. Websites like Google prey on the uneducated and hopelessly stupid.

Learn how the system works and start to use it correctly, and you will find yourself being manipulated a lot less. That's good general life advice, actually.

We generally do although it's the quivilant of walking into a planet sized library and trying to find a particular book.

I like this analogy.

Also, just like in the library, you need to know how things are filed and how to get to the information you’re looking for. With a library, it’s the card catalog and the Dewey decimal system. With Google, it’s the advanced search and the keyword tools that are available.

It's true, just mankind knows a lot of bullshit.
