Does Google search?

Hi Everyone
Lately, I have been having this feeling that google's page rank algorithm will become its nemesis. I have started using dogpile more often now. The search results on google have been getting very bad recently. Either I am really stupid and not entering the right search terms or website owners have become too smart for the page rank algorithm or google has lost focus on its core business and is too busy doing laser photography of the streets of San Francisco.

Here's a search that really frustrated me. When I did a search for "j2se 1.4 documentation", I expected to see http://java.sun.com at the top. It was not even on the first page of results in google. Even the dozers got it right.

Is GOOG really worth that price?

Searching......
