Notes on search — Or, 'Your search for rae-dupree eureka in all fields returned 0 results.'
Above, what the New York Times own website returned last Sunday when I looked for an article by Janet Rae-Dupree published in that day's paper.
I don't know what I was thinking, going to the Times site instead of Google and entering the search terms there.
Below,
what came back from Google.
Note that the article I was looking for — with a link to it on the Times own website — apppears first.
The Times (and all the media companies) are like the crazy grandmother who never throws anything away — she still has everything, she just has no idea where it is or how to find it.
Unbelievable, that such ineptitude persists.

It's true, I've never gotten useful results from the Times search either. It's more fun when it returns results because it's like a surrealist puzzle trying to figure out why it thought they were relevant.
