I don’t recall Google’s search quality 7 years ago. I do recall it the first time I used Google. I also recall it when the Demand Media eHow/Livestrong content farm spam decimated their results. One thing that’s worth pointing out, that most technical users miss, are the ads. If you are blocking ads in the results, you have a totally different search experience.
