Google search, itself, is so bad now that I have had to resort to duckduckgo and yandex or adding "reddit" or "ycombinator" to searches to get anything remotely close to what I specifically ask for. Google just ignores my well though-out search terms and phrases it seems. Often returning the opposite of what I specifically searched for! I don't know if it just pinging on a keyword and ignoring everything else or wtf, but it is practically unusable. Google Maps is still pretty good for me though!
