The thing that annoys me the most about Google's results is how they're intent on giving you any results, instead of actual useful results. Too often I'll type in something, and it'll give pages and pages of results that aren't what I'm looking for.
For example: searched something that "didn't have many results" - this is indicated (but somewhat hidden) at the top of the results, but isn't made visually obvious - well, I don't go looking for that to know if the results were actually what I searched for; if it gave me results, it's natural to assume the results were actually relevant.
But instead, Google decides to be absolutely less than useless by giving me back a bunch of irrelevant results, instead of simply returning NO results because there were none.
This is the main reason I've completely given up on Google.
Edit: another annoyance is Google altering your search terms - "searching for YXZ instead", or even worse, excluding some terms in the results (and having to later click "must include YXZ" which, again, is hidden within the results). This is particularly infuriating when looking up API terms.
