Internet Officially Fails as Information-Seeking Tool

The first signs were when all I could find on Hermux Tantamoq was his official website and a near-empty Wiki page. But the internet's severe lack of information on ALL existing things is only half of the battle. Piecing together the phrases "marchand", "school bus", "peripheral", "typewriter", and "terrorist" did not come up with a search result for the novel "After the First Death" which like all stories televised or novelled about terrorists was dreary and dull, except for the half about the typewriter. Still, when I couldn't remember the name of this story, I figured that I could rely on the internet to refresh my memory. But as mentioned above, the correct answer could not be found by a Google search, nor any of the other search engines which are nothing more than Google clones. In case you didn't know, all Google is capable of anymore is linking to forum sites, the same articles being rotated among online "journalists", and then the rest is spam results of thousands of pages which automatically take whatever search term you entered and place it on the spam site's metatags.
Message to Google: You totally suck.
The problem with the internet is that it's become a pissant media sensation, a blame target for paranoids, and an endless series of vomitous social network sites. Go back to the GOOD internet, with HamsterDance and The Adventures of Brian, the Confused Mail Clerk. God dangit, it's like the whole internet is converging into a stupid utility for your friggin i-phones. It's sick.
