I can't find anything in Google to confirm "Microsoft Coffee" except for this site, discussion of it on Reddit 13 hours ago.

Its choice not to display any information older than the attention span of a cracked out chipmunk is one of the main reasons I stopped using Google.

Real question: do you use any alternatives? I completely agree but have had a hard time finding other methods of searching information.
you don't do google justice. They are fully capable of displaying very outdated information. As an example, i recently wanted to look up election results from a certain country, a day after. Google decided to show me some tired, old news snippets from elections in 2015.

"stale as buns" is my phrase of choice.

Try finding something from Google before 2007.
"google in 1996"? Google likes the buns but not the whisky i guess.

(even i'm cringing at the metaphor, but if you think about it, it sums up what i'm trying to say. Pretty well)
