All last week I was lamenting to my coworker at the decline of Google for technical results.

Anecdotally, I googled "the oa wikipedia" last night and Google had no clue what I was talking about. This morning it's working as expected.

It was ironic to be confirmed with pop culture and a Hacker News post.

I've noticed a decline in the last 3 years, and a huge drop off in quality in the past few months.

Another example from a few months ago was searching for "milankovitch cycles" and Google had no clue. A few days later it was working again.
