This is the thing people don't get about search. Not only is it incredibly difficult to accurately predict what content will give people exactly what they want, but there is an entire class of bad actors dedicated to making the results worse.

I think we need to stop using search so much. Curated indexes of information are often better for finding what you need. They organize bodies of knowledge that enable us to do more than just play detective and scavenger hunt.

Take a library for example. To find out how to repair a stuck brake caliper, you don't go to the library and tell the librarian "stuck caliper fix". You say "Can I have a book on auto repair, or on repairing car brakes?" You get the book, and it's an index of organized knowledge. In that book you'll learn how to fix the stuck caliper, but also see what causes stuck calipers and how to prevent them - because it's not blog spam designed to fix one error, it's organized knowledge.

Wikipedia is a great curated index. It is literally a giant list of links, with paragraphs summarizing what you can find in different pieces of the links. (it's also an entire semantic database, but ignore that) If you suggested starting Wikipedia to people today, they'd probably say it was crazy and nobody would use it because of how difficult it would be and that the results wouldn't be useful or accurate. And in spite of all that being true, people today probably can barely imagine life without Wikipedia.
