Some sites own search facilities are so dire (BBC for instance) that the only way to find stuff is to go into google and use +BBC together with +keywords (this may work for some badly indexed etail sites too).
The site then has to have been index-able by google/DDG/etc.
SWMBO continually complains that the "art supply" sites she
uses have atrocious search capabilities (coupled with completely
outdated inventory information)
Here, for example, a search intended to find "payne's gray" paint
assuming the searching party doesn't know how to properly spell it:
<
https://www.jerrysartarama.com/search/go?w=pains%20grey>
HUNDREDS of results yet *none* on the first page are correct!
Assuming you KNOW how to spell it:
<
https://www.jerrysartarama.com/search/go?w=paynes grey>
you still get a bunch of unrelated "grey" hits -- but, at least
a few likely results among the ~100 hits!
