I have a couple of bones to pick with the mighty Google.

Why when I search Google for a product does it give me umpteen million shops in the listings? Isnt that what the Shopping link at the top of the page is for? Please Google remove the shopping links from the main search, where possible.

Make my searches more relevant, if I am searching for a product lets say a Philips Senseo coffee maker or maybe a Canon camera then why am I almost NEVER directed to the manufacturers website? There must be some cash in directing customers towards manufacturers for sales and support of their products.

I want to be able to search for a manual for my DVD player and actually be pointed to the PDF file from the manufacturer. Instead, right now I have to spend 10 minutes searching to find what I am after, isnt that what your computers should be doing for me?

OK, we can search, and we can search for words and combinations of words but really we need now to move on, search needs to find what we want faster and ditch the unwanted commercial crap…unless I ASK for it. i.e. If I am searching for “Buy Philips Senseo” then fine.

Google and their ilk need to improve their search and we need to be educated by them to improve our search terms so as to give thier apps a chance at finding what we want and find it faster.

So come on Google, you must have done some user testing how about applying more of that to your search product?
