It's been a while since I have felt that Google's results have deteriorated. It takes a lot of tricks to find what I am looking for. Today an interesting case occurred that frustrated me a lot and is worth telling HN.

First, I was looking for a song and searched for: "here were the dreams are born" (I know I mistyped). One of the first results I found was this interesting story (Google results https://imgur.com/a/gUq4XVZ):

https://mechahuggermr.tripod.com/id66.html

I took the following sentence from this story and used it in the readme of an internal project:

"David, we have been expecting you - this is what you have been searching for - this place, David, is where dreams are born"

Some people wanted to know where this quote came from and could not find it on Google.

I also tested and cannot enter any combination of parameters into Google to find this page. I tried quotation marks, literal search and no hyphen. Nothing, it is impossible to find it.

Does anyone know what is going on here? Can someone do a magic call and find this page on Google?

Has Google's AI/BERT Enhanced Search reached a point where indexed pages can not be found?

All results were tested with a Brazilian connection and replicated in a Private Session on an US VPN.
