    Google sometimes tells me there were only 4 results (and none of them are the thing I’m searching). It’s super annoying when it’s something I know is online.

      It’s super annoying when it’s something I know is online.

      That may also simply no longer be true. Things do disappear from the internet; quite often actually.

      What’s the thing you were looking for? I want to try whether Kagi can dig it up.

        Google has twice told me this.

        But I got the page by searching browser history. The page refreshed too (not cached).

        @Atemu

        Yes, I know things are taken down but that’s not what I’m talking about at all. By “something I know is online” I mean that literally.

        For example, cases where I was trying to use google to get straight to it instead of navigating multiple menus on a website.

        Or a website I was at the previous day but I don’t want to wade through my search history to get back there.

        Then when google fails I go and navigate to it myself and it is still there.
