      I think going to known primary sources and searching in the index of those is probably your best bet

      like getting the OED or Encyclopaedia Britt or even going to wikipedia directly

        They won’t have the information I need. It’s along the lines of does this tent have this specific feature (because the photos suck and there’s no manual), what ingredients are in this cleaner, how to sanitize this, what will achieve this outcome.

        Sometimes I can find a video of assembly, sometimes I find something from the EPA, sometimes I can dig up a manual or find some more information from a different seller. A lot of the time it’s all the same vague 101 info that doesn’t answer the one question I have.

        The internet is becoming really stupid.

        Oh yeah, ai should count as information pollution.

        But also if you want one specific piece of information it just gives sources that regurgitate the same stuff you already know and don’t answer the particular question you’re trying to hone in on.

        Also Boolean search doesn’t seem to work anymore
