> As one just example, I searched for a unique error message in code that exists on GitHub, is in a fairly popular repo, and is not new and Google just could not find it. That seems like a very basic failure.

I have recently almost completely stopped using Google's search engine due to the fact that I am very often offered zero search results for simple queries (usually involving quotes though) .. It's so bad I can't even believe it.

Note: I've been a Google search since it started... Gmail since Beta, etc...

At one point, I thought that maybe they started punishing ad-block users excessively.
