The evolution of Google search has been wild to live through. I remember being able to tell people to google search certain terms to show them esoteric (or funny) things on the internet, because everyone got the same results. Then they started personalizing results and it got creepy good at it. I use Linux a lot, so I look up things about Linux a lot. I needed to SSH into a Linux box from a Windows 8.1 laptop. No native SSH client, because Windows can’t actually do anything. Okay, I needed to download PuTTY. So I googled ‘putty’. And Google did not hedge its bet, every single result I got was about the TTY client. No plumbers putty, no silly putty, nothing.

Now it seems Google can’t find its ass with both hands and a flashlight.
