It has gotten really terrible , some examples : 1. Site diversity is non existant . Nearly every term results same handful sites. Proof [0] 2. Actual blogs are not shown in serps . I have to use blogger and wordpress in search term to find blogs but it exculdes all the blogs that are not blogger or wordpress . 3. Way too much focus on reddit compared to all other forums. Its like both people and google both forgot forums other than reddit exist. 4. Too many non related articles . 5. Got too many seo optimized junk ? Just go to page ten or twenty . Turns out google now capped search results to a few hundred . And bing ? The pages become irrelevant at the later pages. Workarounds I use : 1. Adding hackernews does improve my serp that are related to to tech . 2. limiting my search results to a old date/month improves the serp . 3. Marginalia [1] and kagi occasionally helps . 4. Sometimes I use absurdly long keywords . 5. Sometimes i use a search engine from here [2] to see if it gives better results or not which usually turn out to be not . 6. Yandex sometimes work but not always . In short : The current search quality is terrible and finding smallweb ,forums and blogs are even more difficult .
