>type [orlando condos], bang, there's a list of all of them

Hi, welcome to Planet Earth. Our search engines are apparently not as advanced as on your native planet. Here, if you try that, you'll find travel directories, (the kind you so despise, and in most cases with good reason!), more travel directories, and ... more travel directories. That's right, 500, count them, five HUNDRED travel directories for each and every single condo in the Orlando area.

So, if you went through the top thousand listings, you'd probably find ... several of those condos. Well, Google is a pretty decent engine by Earth-native standards: it's likely that they've tried to promote the actual condos above the private-affiliate-travel-spam sites. They have not been altogether successful -- but with those odds, getting even two real condo website into the top 100 listings represents a 90% spam-suppressal rate, which is pretty phenomenal.

So, while you're here, you may need to take advantage of several different websearch tools, picking the most appropriate one for each kind of content. For THIS example, Google local is the best our planet can offer.

Enjoy your stay.
