Why would a paid link come up when searching for something vintage
computery? The results are not tailored to suit the searcher, but the
advertisers, regardless of the search terms. Hence: trash. And you're not
going to convince me otherwise. Google is the Deathstar of the internet.

It is not trash. PAID sites get first pick in sorting, I suspect.
On the tablet,it picks what it thinks you want."neeps and haggis" might
get you "need a bag" rather than a scottish dinner
Using the other search engine.
Now Amazon and ebay, are trash.
