I think the biggest issue with google right now is they have so many simple answers available. If I google some even slightly in depth problem, I'm bombarded with quarter explanations from "popular" sites like howtogeek, cnet wikihow, etc, which as far as I remember have never helped me one bit.

They seem to rely too much on site popularity, and not enough about quality of result, and god help you if you try to google a higher-level math problem.

Some of the updates over the last year or so will put Google in a better position to increasingly put quality over popularity. There's still going to be a problem that people seem to trust Wikihow, etc...

Regarding the math problems: do you have an example of a query for which there's a good result on the internet, but Google doesn't return it?
