They definitely have. Removing the main keywords from my query is the most frustating thing ever. I just want them to do kind of "dumb" search, without any machine learning magic about 95% of the time.
I swithed to DDG sometime ago and it is way better atleast for me. I still switch to google for localised information(local restaurants etc.) though.
- cglouch 8y agoI've found that I often get better results on google if I click "Tools" under the search bar and change "All results" to "Verbatim". It seems to force it to just do the query without as much of the magic.
- dingaling 8y agoThey still haven't enabled Verbatim for Image searches though. The difference in results when switching from verbatim-text to images is shocking.
- BLanen 8y agoEven in verbatim it often results in it taking semantically similar words instead. I'd much rather have it return no results.
- DarkCrusader2 8y agoYeah I have tried verbatim and it does seem to help a little in some cases. In others, it either shows totally irrelevant results or does not turn up any search results. I wish I could do a grep style search on the web after removing all the social media and popular brands.
