What bothers me is that if you use just about any search engine to look something up, the results page will tell you that it found hundreds of thousands of results, maybe even millions. But if you start looking at them, you will get a miniscule number of results before the page will end.
I just looked up something, it doesn't matter what it was, on Google, which told me: "About 851,000 results". I can only actually see 304 web pages. Why won't Google let me see the other 850,696 entries. All of the ones I could see are from essentially mainstream websites. Google won't show me results from some random blog post that happened to be about the subject at hand. It's very hard to find anything outside the mainstream. And it isn't just Google.
What happened to the rest of the internet?
I use Google and follow the search phrase with "reddit" or "stackexchange" or "Quora", and then I'll get good results for even obscure questions. Google used to allow users, maybe still does, to create a custom search engine, that will only search user-specified websites.
