I remember altavista giving me interesting results from actual personal websites and I could tweak it by being more precise.
On google today the top results are pretty much always garbage SEO optimized aggregate nonsense.
- dpark 5y agoI remember looking for stuff on page 20 of Altavista results. Although lately Google does seem to be losing the battle with the scammers/spammers, at least for certain classes of queries. The number of garbage results I have to wade through if the answer isn’t in Wikipedia seems to be growing.
