Not feeling the love

I went to search for a post I wrote about a “Swedish programming language” (why? For reasons). I did what I usually do and search Google [1] and got nothing (and adding quotes to the search term [2] returned an explicit “No results! Ha ha!”). Sensing a pattern [3], I decided to hit Bing [4] and … no results. And it appears that Bing [5] ignores quotes around the search term [6].

I wanted this page [7]! It even has the phrase “Swedish programming language” in the XXXXXXX page! (I finally found it by manually searching the site on my server)

Do Google [8] and Bing [9] no longer love me? Is it because I'm not encrypting all the things [10]? Because I'm not running over HTTP/2 [11]? Or is the phrase “Swedish programming language” too [12] obscure [13] to bother doing a proper search? Oh wait! I know! It's because those pages weren't updated within the last twenty minutes!

Sheesh!
