i test all web search engines the same way:

  • punch in "Python itertools"
  • see if the official Python.org documentation for itertools is the top result.

if it's not, then the search engine is contaminated with advertised or SEO optimized results and it's wasting my time

The first result from Google was the official Python.org docs for me

The true test is searching anything related to android and not get flooded by hundreds of links to auto generates blog content and useless bot created pages.
