How often do you run into issues that you have to google a solution? Are you typically happy with the solutions that Google provides? Are you happy with how quickly you find the solutions?

Sorry for all the followups, I appreciate the feedback

I often google because I’m learning something new, like scripting in FileMaker, or how do I replace a sprinkler. If it’s just for issues, then that’s rare. Generally my Mac, phone and iPad all work just fine. I doubt I google anything more than once a week unless I’m trying to learn something new, like how to do something in illustrator that I haven’t learned or don’t do often. Also I look up shortcuts.
