Well if the search results are as accurate as mine are, all this is likely to be doing is wasting police resources/time.
Search quality fell off a cliff in the last few years. I can’t even get accurate results for technical queries with quotes and verbatim anymore. I don’t even mean obscure stuff, just stuff I eventually find browsing stack overflow after my Google searches fail completely.
- sjcoles 5y agoThe past 6 months has seen a marked decline in the quality of results for anything techincal. It's all just SEO spam and SEO results that are ripped from SO or other answer sites. Doesn't matter if you use another 'engine' as they all pull from Google. If you have a nebulous question it's pretty darn good at deducing what you want, but this exact ensmartening has caused the issues when searching technical things. Hell, even verbatim mode under tools doesn't work 100% anymore.
