> everyone gets mediocre to bad results

Everything I've heard from people I know at Google suggests otherwise. Most searches for most people ... work. I too struggle to have google work in specific research cases, and I would like more power-user toggles, but basic searches like "$celeberty_name photos" or "$my_kids_school calendar" or "pizza places near me" just sorta work.

Hard to know anything for sure since results are "tailored". But Google used to be excellent for technical searches, whereas now it is unhelpful at the best of times. I'm guessing this isn't counted in "most searches gor most people".
