This is something to look into as I feel Google search really has strayed away from its core functionality in only focusing mostly on SEO-centric search.

Google was always about the ads, the search was just leverage to sell ads.

These days, they don’t even always search for what you ask for, sometimes they take your search query and add brand names to it to get more money out of the brand that sponsored some ads.
