I feel like in theory google should be returning this site, instead of the ad-filled sites when one searches "my ip address." But it always seems like Google heavily over-values the domain name and search term matches.

The "first result" in a Google query for "my ip" and other combinations is a box with your public IP. There's no reason to click in any of the ad-filled sites anymore.

This had been true for me for several years, but recently, I have found that Google no longer provides that info box and it's necessary to click into one of the search results. (I am using Firefox, but I am logged into a Google account of it makes any difference.)
