It's been particularly annoying that you USED to be able to
enter a part number of a relatively obscure chip and have the
manufacture's spec sheet show up high in the rankings.  Now,
you wind up with a whole bunch of data sheet subscription
services that want money before they'll feed up the datasheet,
and a bunch of sales sites,  good portion of which don't actually
HAVE the datasheet or the part you requested anyway.  For instance, try 
"tmp47p443"...

I don't think this is google being bought, I think it's just
sites that have learned how to manipulate the search engines.
