I wish google would release google2008.com
On that website, they keep using their technology from 2008 and let me use it to search for what I want. I've had enough
- windsurfer 7y agoOne issue with that is that there has been an arms race since 2008 with "search engine optimization". If you used a crawler from 2008 on today's web, you'd probably get a ton of spam.
- codingslave 7y agoThe results for half of my searches are already all spam. It would be better to just accept that and have google let me engineer my queries so that I avoid spam. More token based searches, less word vector/machine learning based search. Let me query their index like its an SQL database
- windsurfer 7y agoAre you sure they are spam? Google's engineers consider annoying things like recipe pages with 20 paragraphs of stories before the actual recipe not to be spam.
- buboard 7y agoi am being tricked into pinterest link-pages multiple times a day. That is spam ,and has very little to do with their AI work
- im3w1l 7y agoRestricting it to 2008's web could be an interesting exercise.
- drusepth 7y agoI'm now super curious what percentage of pages from 2008 are still around/available today.
- cromwellian 7y agoThey'd also have to release "The Whole Web as it was in 2008" What people don't seem to realize is, as much as you think Google has changed, the Web has changed even more. If you kept Google the same as it was ten years ago, your results would be far far more full of irrelevent, SEO'ed, spammed up content today.
