Why is It impossible to find ANYTHING ON GOOGLE or any search engin for that matter. I'm always typing something on google but get results that have NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT I TYPED. I could spend 12 hours searching, searching, and searching but not find what I'm looking for what do I do to get REAL results Because it would take weeks to look through all 2,500,010,00 results!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is more to an engine than a simple box. Behind the box there exists powerful software that, invisibly to us, collects and stores the information in a database, which we in turn are searching said database to retrieve it afterwards.
I have found it helps to have an understanding of how the software itself works, specifically you'll want to glean into how information is gained and stored, as well as how it is then retrieved by the end user.
Perhaps reading through the information found at the below links would help:

I always use yahoo,
When looking for something for example,
media manager
Just typing this will bring results for websites that may only contain the word media or only the word manager,
It also provides results of websites containing both words,
I find the best way is to type "media manager" as this looks only for the exact phrase,
