I get what you mean, but part of the whole initial appeal of Google was that it gave much more relevant results initially than Altavista or the other options. That was why Google put in the audacious "I'm feeling lucky" button.
- 1_player 5y agoYeah but it's from that same philosophy that Google Search is useless as it optimises for the first result. There is no search engine that searches literally for what you asked and nothing else. Search is shit in 2021 because it tries to be too clever. I'm more clever than it, let me do the refining.
