       Google is making it harder and harder to get access to software primary sources (official doc, source code, mailing list…). Due to an unhealthy focus on SEO, most searches yield pages and pages of blog articles (lots of them from companies writing a blog for marketing/PR purposes) fulled of second or third hand information. Really bad for people currently learning.

       @galdor Yes, the situation is indeed horrible. I'm starting to believe paying for a search service is the only answer.

       @grtcdr @galdor Search is extremely expensive. Kagi.com makes it transparent how much a single search costs. You should give it a try. It starts a $5/month.In Octover I cancelled my subscription to see if I can live without it. But once you have the luxury of blocking and changing weights on search results, Google, Bing & Co. become unbearable. So I'm a happy subscriber again.

       @louis @grtcdr @galdor Interesting. I signed up for a kagi.com trial account.
