I've noticed the same issue in the UK. When searching online, I have to be much more specific, or the results are irrelevant. For instance, if I'm trying to find information about a well-known company, I can't just type its name. I need to include what the company does, or else the search results are useless. For example, when looking for a page on a top recruiting company, I have to add "recruiters" at the end of the search query, even though it's one of the biggest names in the industry.
