Not feeling the love
I went to search for a post I wrote about a “Swedish programming language”
(why? For reasons). I did what I usually do and search Google [1] and got
nothing (and adding quotes to the search term [2] returned an explicit “No
results! Ha ha!”). Sensing a pattern [3], I decided to hit Bing [4] and … no
results. And it appears that Bing [5] ignores quotes around the search term
[6].
I wanted this page [7]! It even has the phrase “Swedish programming language”
in the XXXXXXX page! (I finally found it by manually searching the site on my
server)
Do Google [8] and Bing [9] no longer love me? Is it because I'm not
encrypting all the things [10]? Because I'm not running over HTTP/2 [11]? Or
is the phrase “Swedish programming language” too [12] obscure [13] to bother
doing a proper search? Oh wait! I know! It's because those pages weren't
updated within the last twenty minutes!
Sheesh!
