Sadly, most of my searches need more recent answers. Software & hardware (when it comes to coding/tech/IT) and information about local businesses can change quickly and old information usually ends up being just wrong.

Google is really, really letting me down and wasting a lot of my time these days.

I get that people think that but I just googled a really long serial number for a washing machine with no other context and the first result was the repair manual. So at least in my experience it seems to be okay.

I agree that certain types of searches work, and that for many of them limiting your results to past content can be useful. Unfortunately, it doesn't help with the searches I tend to make. I edited my comment to clarify.
