Search engines suck these days. I've been trying for 20 minutes to find #woodworking plans for a French easel like the one in this picture. Not a single useful result.
What have I found instead? Every result has been top 10 garbage, AI generated talk of easels without plans, or links where I can click on another link to buy plans, but no pictures of what the actual plans. Shady AF.

Hear you. Tried to find ingredients for a recipe. Search tool was a tool in every way. Piled in adds to each thing and then links to sell me each. Google and others are getting in the way!

@satterle Thanks. Unfortunately that's exactly the sort of site I was complaining about. If it's truly free, it doesn't need to go into a shopping cart on a site without https. They could just post the plans on the page.
Sketchy AF.

@eighthourlunch I experience the same issue. I find brave browser and search engine to retrieve much better results
