I think the general rule is anything google acquired was good and anything they built themselves was bad and ended up getting killed.

There are exceptions but some of the only decent parts of google; maps, YouTube, AdWords were all acquisitions. I think they even just got HTC to build the pixel exclusively for them

They used to have a nice clean usable web search back in 2000 or so.
