You say that yet we all know Google has gone to shit the last 2 years. Not to mention all the good forums are either shuttering or putting up motes so they can’t be scraped, which means they can’t be found. Discord has been a disaster for tech solution searching online.
Sure, but google an error message + one or two tiny details still will 70% of the time return something useful.
Its gotten worse, but not that bad yet.
Yet!
At that point, as silly as it sounds, run it through a locally hosted LLM
they got trained on the documentation for a lot of these softwares, they’re shockingly good at error code lookup and providing correct solutions because they basically print out the help page that’s now hidden by search engines
I still sanity check every answer I ever get, but it helps narrow shit down when Google or others aren’t fucking behaving themselves
