Prompt engineering has always been a useful tool and still is. But a lot of problem, discussed here, can't be solved by any amount of fiddling. When Google does not even search long tail results, and there is nothing relevant in any of their "caches", doing prompt engineering only wastes one's time.
It appears, that there is some sort of fallback (?), that brings results of unfulfilled queries into a cache, but it isn't fast enough to respond to the user in real-time. Maybe Google should openly admit, that their resources aren't infinite, and offer to e-mail a better results once they are ready. Seriously.
