The nightmare I have experienced recently is trying
to get any information on older Laptops. I.e. I
have taken a liking for Toshiba 2100 series 486
laptops. If you try to search Google for anything
relating to them, i.e. to find out what speed
processor they have in them, what video chip they
use, you're deluged with Laptop Battery ads for
batteries priced at 2-5 times what you paid for the
laptop.
For a specific problem like that you might want to
search for "Toshiba 2100 -battery"
That works, as long as there is no mention of the term battery on the pages that
you happen to want. There likely is on some of the pages with valuable content.
I guess we get all the 'search engine' we pay for, though, since Google is free.
