I often find myself putting words in quotes to make sure they appear \u2013 also there\u2019s a tendency for Google to replace words with synonyms that are not.\u00a0</p>\n<p><br/></p>\n<p>Second, searches for information about anything that\u2019s a common article of commerce with consumerist marketing (clothes, consumer electronics, common tools, appliances, computers, DIY-tier 3D printers, firearms, jewelry, consumer gadgets, etc) tend to be totally polluted with commercial\u00a0\u201creview\u201d sites, people who are trying to sell you something, and\u00a0\u201ceducational\u201d sites written by the marketing departments of vendors that are full of bad and slanted information and\u2026 just <i>not the kind of information you find on independent message boards and the like</i>.\u00a0</p>\n<p><br/></p>\n<p>Third, Google is surprisingly bad at finding articles which contained specific unusual words together but you can\u2019t remember <i>exactly</i>\u00a0all of them.\u00a0</p>\n</blockquote>"}
