Don't try to over-simplify the complex Walmart situation:

1. You can park in the Walmart lot out by the main street with all that traffic racket.

or

2. You can park in the Walmart lot out back by where their delivery big rigs overnight with all that refrigeration unit racket.

or

3. You can park in the Walmart lot in a far corner where the young folks congregate with their cars to party and spin asphalt brodies into the wee hours.

Well aware of that and, if the topic shown interests me, that is what I do. But I don't want to have to do that every time........:R

Google's results are infinitely more relevant than what I get from the on site search. As for "5 million results"... nobody ever looks past page one, because that's where all the real results are. The rest is just random places your terms happen to show up.

I can use "OK Google"....

At some point you had to learn to walk and later to drive. You just need to also learn how to use the search function. I read your post as saying that you are unwilling to expend the effort to learn.

Or, you can stick with Google and the 5 million results of your search. :B

I see this statement regularly but it is wrong. The search function here is great once you learn to use it. You must go into "Advanced Search" and set your own parameters. The results using the default parameters are far too limiting.

You have just made my point.

I can use "OK Google" on my phone for the most obscure and detailed information and get back precisely what I was looking for in 2 seconds or less BY VOICE COMMAND.

Then it should be obvious that the search engine in this site is far far far behind any other and almost never can find even GENERAL topics or Specific posts without resorting to the methods you describe. Which should NOT be necessary.

No I am sorry this search engine is not ready for prime time for sure.
