Of the three code related searches in the original blog post, only one Google example listed the official Python documentation as the first link. In the other two examples, the sites shown where:
- W3 Schools
- StackOverflow
I will definitely agree with you that the author seems to want very different things from their search results than we might though. I will always always prefer the official docs (which I can pick through) when I make as vague a search as "<language> throw exception". If I wanted to know "how do I <verb> <noun> in <language>", then that's what I'd Google.
I guess I just want different results to the same query than the author
