It’s very subjective, but I feel this too. It’s like in adding ML, search has sacrificed precision.
For example, adding ‘-‘ no longer seems to work for excluding terms. Yesterday I searched for “digital agency” and then “digital agency -marketing”. The latter had 3x more results than the former.
Google can be great when I don’t quite know the right term for what I’m looking for, but often when I need something very specific I get nowhere.
- gitgud 5y agoThe - symbol does still work, I think you need to place it outside of the quotes though. I just got 29m results for "digital agency" And 14m results for "digital agency" -marketing
- nieve 5y agoThe Google Search team officially considers -, "", and so forth to be optional signals from the user. I find Google ignoring - with pretty high frequency.
