How do I tell Google to not be garbage and not obscure facts?

I read an article yesterday about how the HIV caseload in Thailand has doubled year-on-year. Google absolutely refuses to return anything about this piece of news. How can we access facts on the Internet these days?



You can't escape this problem if you're using Google. Try another search engine that doesn't do censoring and targeted advertising. I like DuckDuckGo, but there are others.


Is the article accurate? As UNAIDs has an article about Thailand that is less than a year old which does not agree.

> Why isn't my site indexed?

> In general, the most common reason that a site is not indexed is because it's just too new; be patient and ask Google to crawl and index it.


Are you sure it was recent and not from 1990?


Use Kagi.
