Google search failed to even find a hollywood movie, even after 1 hour of attempts. I don’t really care about the movie, but I am terrified by the prospect that google now ceased to function on this basic level. Why is this happening?

I understand the explanations of seo and other stuff like spam content. But why are there NO relevant results at all.

I wouldn’t mind having to start wading through results at page 2 or even 10 but now it utterly fails to find even the most basic things.

Things you found on the first attempt even just a year ago. Now they are effectively hidden.

To me functionally the entire internet has now vanished. I cannot access anything that I am searching for. Might as well not exist at all.

Has anybody found a way around this?

Is this on purpose? Is this an attack on the free internet, herding people to just the top 5 sites like facebook, youtube, tiktok, and so forth?

Are there search engines that still work?

      Yes, the movie I mentioned was about a multidimensional entity that took hold in a biological computer created in a parallel dimension where they never got transistors but got dna instead at an early stage. Subsequently creating a biological computer that had like one giant yellor or blue eye and tentacles and just and amorphous blob of tissue in a tank.

      this thing tries to take over earth’s dimension aswell so the two protagonists go over to their dimension and kill the thing.

        I asked GPT and it replied (would be good to know if it’s right):

        The movie you’re describing sounds like “The Gene Generation” (2007). This sci-fi film involves a world where DNA hacking is prevalent. However, it doesn’t precisely match all elements of your description, particularly regarding the multidimensional entity and the biological computer with an eye and tentacles.

        It’s possible that the film you’re referring to is less mainstream or a mix of different movie plots. If “The Gene Generation” doesn’t sound right, could you provide any more details? That might help in identifying the correct film.
