Eh....I got it to find a product that met the specs I was looking for on Amazon when no other search worked. It's certainly a last resort but it worked. Idk why whenever I'm looking to buy anything lately somehow the only criteria I care about are never documented properly...

It's useful to point you in the right direction, but anything beyond that necessitates more research

I mean, it gave me exactly what I asked for. The only further research was to actually read the item description to verify that but I could have blindly accepted it and received what I was looking for.

No one should take The Verge seriously after their PC-building fiasco

I've used it for very, very specific cases. I'm on Kagi, so it's a built in feature (that isn't intrusive), and it typically generates great answers. That is, unless I'm getting into something obscure. I've used it less than five times, all in all.
