I entered “make of Tyre Nichols’s car?”
Many “answers”, none of which addresses my query. If a search engine can’t find the answer, it should say “not found” instead of trying to conjure some inappropriate reply. My query was clear and limited. Google’s found answers were neither. This is a cmmon problem. It wastes time and fails the user’s purpose. Stop it.

It may be that the information on the car is not publicly available, so it would not have been indexed and included in the search results.
However, the words Tyre and Nichols and car individually were, so the search engine returned those results.
Here's an example of a (nonsensical) search argument that produces no matches...
google.com/search?q=SkHis%2493...-wiz-serp
Google musta gotten confused by the name Tyre >>> the UK spelling for "tire" <<< and probably was looking for the kinds of tires "Nichols" uses on his car. Probably adding "Memphis" to your search might splain these young'uns as to what yer talking about...
Next time you talk to Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo/WebCrawler etc., do pretend you're talking to a five year old.
Oh, expecting them/"they" to admit to, or even to come up a simple "not found?" Seriously???? AI would totally make that impossible. Figure a "so you think I'm stupid" attitude will kick in and a "query forwarded to FBI/Homeland Security" or a simple "none of your effun bizz" should/would be a lot more likely/logical/appropriate...
"Computers were made to make life easy." Yeah, whatever, sigh...
I agree with Bill: trying to find a certain item, idea, thought, person, etc., is often an effort in futility.
I was looking for recipes for savory croissants yesterday and out of a dozen pages there were maybe 2 or 3 croissant recipes, the rest was garbage.
So, it doesn't necessarily pay off to be specific as to what you want.
Duck Duck Go is way better than Google
I use bing and duck duck. Both have their pluses and minuses. Google is all commercial and generally returns all commercial unless you add a specific site for it to search. But then you might as well just go to the site.
Bing wastes a lot of space with pics. But is superior to google.
Duck duck is safest to avoid trackers, unwanted cookies, and trojans.
Look up a simple question like... ' Cost of a dental implant in Vancouver' For your effort you get an unlimited list of places to get a dental implant but most of those are spread across the country.. If you are looking for a bottom line price you have to dig far down into a select few of those sites before anyone has the courage to quote a realistic price. In the meantime you get responses as low as $200 with a long list of but, however, and maybe not. Those places probably require a $5000 airplane ticket. $200 here would probably get you a set of plastic halloween teeth that make you look like Dracula. The more realistic price around here starts at around $3000 with no extras. [Nobody gets away without some extras] A month later I now get useless dental ads on every page I visit.

That reminds a lot of BHO. You put a question and get a lot of answers and none of them really answers what you really asked for.
