Yeah, Google is still my default browser, though I haven't used other engines enough to develop a strong opinion here.
I'll add that I could have been more clever with my query. For instance, if I surround the lyric in quotes, Google returns the right result first.
Original query: like you didn't care I don't know why lyrics r&b
Improved query: "like you didn't care I don't know why" lyrics r&b
At the end of the day, I'm not frustrated with Google. I use it every day and it saves me lots of time. It just amuses me that in some cases, other engines that probably use simpler search algorithms are objectively better. And in this case, I think it's fair to expect Google to produce the right result on page 1.
