Oh all the time. There are a massive amount of searches that I'd like to do, and I KNOW there are useful hits out there for, but I don't bother because the odds of actually getting useful results is so low. I don't know this, but would wager that a lot of people have scaled back what they search for on Google either consciously or subconsciously. The amount of topics you can expect quality results for has shrunk an awful lot, especially for subjects that are technical and/or non-current.
