No not really. What sort of things are you searching for?

I didn't exactly write them down, but for the first one I've had it happen a few times and I'm pretty sure once I was looking something up about gardening (probably some specific thing about peppers or tomato) and something looked like a guide but it was just lots of very basic information about a lot of plants on a no-design page with a wall of text (like chopping up real pages and mashing them all together into one that will get a lot of hits).

The second thing has happened more recently with technical stuff, like if I search anything about vertex colors it isn't guaranteed to be relevant. I also searched for something else technical and one of the things popping up was some Korean TV show (drama?) with one of the keywords as its name (in a somewhat odd way).

I wanted to know recently how the ancient Greeks tracked years, but I couldn’t find shit. I got months in various parts of greece, regnal years in Rome, Egypt, and China, and AUC in Rome (from the founding of the city) and AM (anno mundi) for the Jewish calendar.
