ETA (sorry to do this to you, but!) Turns out this example does get real search results, so not the best illustration for my point but *in general* it's true.
Yes, it used to be if you searched on, say, 18th c. lace, you'd get articles on it, descriptions of it, history pieces, and yes, also people selling it. Now that last is the first two pages of any google results. If you want information, you pretty much always have to type [thing] + Wikipedia.
