Comment on Has Google’s search results drastically declined for anyone else?
livus@kbin.social 9 months agoGoogle sometimes tells me there were only 4 results (and none of them are the thing I'm searching). It's super annoying when it's something I know is online.

That may also simply no longer be true. Things do disappear from the internet; quite often actually.
What’s the thing you were looking for? I want to try whether Kagi can dig it up.

Google has twice told me this.
But I got the page by searching browser history. The page refreshed too (not cached).

Yes, I know things are taken down but that's not what I'm talking about at all. By "something I know is online" I mean that literally.
For example, cases where I was trying to use google to get straight to it instead of navigating multiple menus on a website.
Or a website I was at the previous day but I don't want to wade through my search history to get back there.
Then when google fails I go and navigate to it myself and it is still there.
