It is clear that the signal to noise ratio of the WWW is getting worse. It's much harder to find good content when using a good old search engine. And if it's good it is usually hosted on Reddit or Stackexchange.

So remember, even if it's easy too Google something (well, it isn't nowadays), we want to create a fediverse of good content that helps people (I hope). So, it's always better to write a real answer if you have the time and energy. Please help boost the SNR and reverse the AI fueled information degradation loop.

How do the results from ddg match the query? It doesn't look particularly helpful to me, and if not, why would I prefer to wade through a number of results that are ultimately unhelpful?

If there are no matches, I want to be told.

The issue I was having was getting a hyper-v host to connect to an iscsi array on a nimble. That first result was pretty much exactly what I needed. It didn't highlight it in the preview, but it was on the page once I opened it.

Ah, so that's definitely good. It wasn't clear from the screenshots, at least not for me

Even if the results aren't exactly what I'm looking for, getting something even tangentially related can be helpful in finding the ultimate solution.

Well, are these results?
