Web searching died the day they invented SEO

Doesn't matter what you search for on the internet it'll try to point you to something that makes someone some money. All the clever search tricks that we used to use to exclude useless stuff get ignored. Even more annoying though is that even when you are wanting to buy something the SEO stuff means that instead of finding answers to queries before purchase the search results only point to the aspects of the item that they want you to know about and are already well publicised. Because some marketing idiot thinks this is the USP. As in, " I don't care that the sodding printer can talk to my mobile phone, I want to know has it got an ethernet connection!"
