Google is ignoring these sites, using Bing, Qwant or DuckDuckGo works much better for queries where uour looking for that obscure site thst is a treasure trove of info.
Part # are another area where Google Search has notably gotten worse over the past half decade. I've emailed multiple Googlers who claim to want to fix these crap results, but I have yet to have one bother to respond (despite them replying to my comments asking me to contact them!)
- Semaphor 8y agoObscure searches is what I use "!g" for. DDG is horrible with them, especially with the change of ignoring forced terms.
- metildaa 8y agoAh, its been a while since I tried forced terms on DDG. Been using Qwant for a while now...
- SubiculumCode 8y agoI haven't heard of that. Any good?
- metildaa 8y agoIts sufficent to keep me off Google, which neither DDG or Bing could ever achieve. I do occasionally get imposter syndrome, and search something on Google too, but the results are generally more accurate on Qwant (for me at least). Where Google kills it is built-in currency conversion, wikipedia previews and such.

So, all those things that DDG has as well? ;) And I tried Qwant, but didn't like it and after a short return to Google (which was very short because I've become too used to bangs) I swallowed my annoyance and went back to DDG.
