I haven't been able to find anything good on there in years. Everything is some company claiming to have a fix and it's just stupid crap that isn't helpful. 'Here's 10 tips to fix your issue that are worthless.'

  1. restart
  2. the same generic fix you already saw on the last 10 websites that didn’t work
  3. download our totally legit software that’s specially designed to fix this exact issue

I'm in the process of repairing my entry way guard rail. I did a Google search for marking banister placement with curved railing. Google's attempt to be useful was to to search for "baluster" instead of "banister". It's a complete fucking joke.

And forbid searching for vehicle tire size suggestions if you've ever done a single search bikes. Finding recommended tire size for 17x8 wheels is fuck all impossible. After the first 10 links I start getting links to Bicycle shops in the UK. While I'm located in the US.
