In my opinion, Google Search is a shell of its former self and its results are becoming increasingly useless for me. It's like the switch to natural language search means that Google fixates on the most generic terms in my query and returns the most generic results - often shopping/blog-spam based. Adding insult to injury, advanced search methods don't seem to work anymore. I have little success when trying to be explicit with quotes and NOT operators. I also feel like I can't trust Google search results because they're trying to tailor them to what they think I want to see. It's troubling that when I tell someone to google something they probably won't be seeing the same results as I do. And the worst part about this is the fact that other search engines are taking Google's lead and results from alternative engines like Bing and DuckDuckGo are also declining in utility. Does anyone know of a search engine that doesn't use natural language processing?
