    Sadly, most of my searches need more recent answers. Software, hardware, and local businesses change quickly and old information usually ends up being just wrong.

    Google is really, really letting me down and wasting a lot of my time these days.

      I get that people think that but I just googled a really long serial number for a washing machine with no other context and the first result was the repair manual. So at least in my experience it seems to be okay.

        I agree that certain types of searches work, and that for many of them limiting your results to past content can be useful. Unfortunately, it doesn’t help with the searches I tend to make. I edited my comment to clarify.
