My particular need is finding particular stuff. Information.
The Google used to be very very helpful. Now I have to McGuyver it into giving me what I am looking for. Now, my Google-fu is ok, and I can do it - but it used to be trivial.
Maybe this is an artifact of the "web is too damn big!", but I suspect that Google itself is going through both organizational (not necessarily algorithmic) growing-pains, but learning what to censor and what to promote in this complex world, and we are the crash test dummies.
Which is sad - to me - because I used to like it when they just gave me what I asked for.
