Google Search Is Falling Behind, Especially in Code, Cooking and Travel

    IMHO, the options you listed still miss the point. When I do a code-related search, most often I'm looking for a documentation entry. So, for example, if I search for "python string replace", Google returns me a bunch of crappy pages. I can fix it with "site:python.org string replace". SearchCode does a terrible job [1]. So does Public WWW [2]. Now, Google nails with the first result, pointing to Python's built-in types page. But it would be perfect if it could just add a <i>#str.replace</i> fragment to the URL [3] and save me some scrolling. Instead, it sends me to the top of the page... [1] https://searchcode.com/?q=python+string+replace [2] https://publicwww.com/websites/python+string+replace/ [3] https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.replace.
