I remember when Google used to be perfectly functional as long as you knew the right search tools. Now it thinks it knows what I’m searching for better than I do, and that almost always means pointing me towards something someone paid for lol
It’s better, but sometimes google will decide you didn’t really mean to type the string inside the quotation marks. Advanced search tools used to be rock solid!
Crazy to think about, but other than through searx i have not used google in about 4 years now. Like i have not loaded google.com in that amount of time
God help you if whatever you’re searching for has key words in any way related to a big news story. Even trying to restrict the date doesn’t seem to help.

Is advanced searching any better? I wouldn’t know now because searx but when I used it before it helped to keep the results focused.
