It's the issue that is the most baffling to me. Learning how to search properly can be done in 10 minutes but no one does it.

If I want a recipe for a burger with onions, I'll search for "recipe burger with onions." When people around me search for the same recipe, they would type "I'm hungry and I'd like stuff with onions and shit" and instead of getting one of the billion web sites with recipes, they would stumble upon a weird blog about an anorexic girl who is obsessed with onions, and think that the internet contain no recipes at all.
