Search engines are obsolete

Shortly this post is inspired by a Lukes video when he rumbles about todays search engines. https://odysee.com/@Luke:7/search-engines-are-totally-useless:c

Most of the things I search on the web are related to the similar things over and over againg. So the results I get are almost always to the same handful of websites over and over again.

Since my interest often lies in computers, programming and linux I truly get just handful of sites for my searches. A short example can be StachExchange, StackOverflow, language manuals or documentation, Archwiki pages and from time to time some other site (but this is very rare).

So I should start thinking a bit more about the topic before I put my question to the general search engine and rather use the correct site or information source (like local documentation) instead of these general search engines.
