So, if google had done nothing at all the product would be completely unusable and we wouldn't even be talking about Google at all. I stopped using Google Search years ago, not because they were doing nothing, but because they were doing too much. Very often I could not find a rare combination of terms because they refused to believe that I hadn't made a typo. They also killed the use of quotes and + signs to override, until it was their (useless) way or the highway. Unfortunately DDG is following their steps lately. Now I can only use search in very limited ways. That's a shame.
