I have been noticing (what appear to be) truncated search results in Google for some time now. At first I thought that was because I was accessing Google through Startpage. But that's not the case.
Anyways, I find myself using Bing more and more often these days, because the search results dig more deeply into the 'obscure'.
I'm not at all upset by this. It seems to me that as Google's results are not completely satisfactory, more people will make use of various alternatives. Maybe one day, search will become decentralized again, somewhat like it was in the 1990s, when you regularly made use of many search engines, like Altavista, Lycos, Excite, and Yahoo.
I would imagine that there must still be metasearch sites out there somewhere that submit your query to several search engines. I need to find one again and would appreciate recommendations.
- rchaud 8y agoI miss those days. There seemed to be so much choice back then. I do remember throwing the same search into 3-4 search engines, not knowing if the reason I couldn<t find anything was because of the engine itself, or if there literally was no information about it on the Net...something that was a possibility back in 1999.
