I've heard this over and over on HN in recent years and I simply don't understand it. Almost any Google search I run has just what I am looking for as the first or second choice. Google frequently knows what I am looking for after I type in the first few words of the search! Are HN people not logged in when they search?

But try to find a specific error message from an npm package!
First you get useless results because Google found something it rather wanted to show you.
Then you add doublequotes and realize the Google results are full of utterly irrelevant pages lacking half my keywords.
