Simen Olsen is not fictitious, but the "my@" email/username seems to be. Zero hits on DDG, and only this article comes up in Google Search.

Search has become so bad that zero hits is not the indicator it used to be, even DDG is struggling now.
It's really evident in situations like this where you are looking for something specific. Seems like they all pushed too hard on the AI and the results are for averaged search queries. Using quotes and -term have become less helpful
Conspiratorially, I wonder if this is intentional to drive more traffic to ai. I find myself using Google Deep Search more, which is honestly a better UX if it would stop writing damn reports and just give me a brief with links. Alas it ignores any instructions to change it's output format
