But search engines are not a good interface when you already know what you want and need to specify it exactly.

See for example the new Windows start menu compared to the old-school run dialog – if I directly run "notepad", then I get always Notepad; but if I search for "notepad" then, after quite a bit of chugging and loading and layout shifting, I might get Notepad or I might get something from Bing or something entirely different at different times.
