     @thomasfuchs Call me old fashioned, but I don't want a machine that answers question, I want a search engine that leads me to interesting websites. Something that doesn't try to figure out what I might need and just gives me something that fits the search pattern I enter.

     @thomasfuchs
     Using the same query in DuckDuckGo. The top links all contain Kenya in their list of African countries.

     @thomasfuchs @tricotfeelya Conflating everything doesn't help. The problem here is that Google gives you excerpts of sometimes unreliable sources as results. And has done so for a very long time.
