Ugh this. Trying to search for almost any generic phrase or term just floods the results with links to shops and "TOP 10 BEST thingYouSearched"
Google Search feels almost useless now for anything other than shortcuts [in]to websites you already know about.

- jjav 4y ago> Google Search feels almost useless now for anything other than shortcuts [in]to websites you already know about. In my experience, not even that. I used to be lazy and use google search to get to websites I knew, but it can no longer find them even if I type it in exactly! So I've mostly had to revert to making sure I bookmark the sites and go in that way. (And of course I've switched to ddg for search.)
- reaperducer 4y agoTrying to search for almost any generic phrase or term just floods the results with links to shops and "TOP 10 BEST thingYouSearched" eBay is the worst for this. "Pancreatic cancer now on sale at eBay!" "The best Libertarian Morals now on sale at eBay!" "Buy discount Rings of Saturn now at eBay!"
- Razengan 4y agoI would gladly pay for one of these.
