How does that reconcile with google results getting worse over time then, with worse defined as relevancy vs. profit motives? With UI changes that de-emphasize the results and promote the ads? With pulling in cursory summarizes to keep you on a google property and isntead of qucily & easily getting you to the definitive source?
There is lots of support for assuming the worst of google in this case.
- notriddle 5y agoBecause it's not just Google. Every web search engine has been getting worse; it's why Google remains "the best" in every head-to-head comparison. The whole web has been getting harder to search.
- marginalia_nu 5y agoWith a few small exceptions, every search engine uses either Google or Bing-data.
- eitland 5y agoI thought this too. Then I found Kagi last year who manages to exeed my expectations, proving that my original assumption is correct: It is still possible to provide good results today, Google just fails at it. I'm not saying it is easy. But it is possible. (Extra interesting: Kagi builds on Google and Bing, two engines that drive me crazy, yet Kagi manages to be great!)
