    Is it just me or do other people here notice google search less reliable these days? It seem less reliable these days and getting worse every year.

    And finding stuff on the internet seems much harder.

    Haven't had a issue......tried comparing it to DuckDuck....and although the order of listings was slightly different, it was still pretty much identical. The only problem I have had was trying to find things that people post that aren't true or real!! ( Fake news......LOL )

    what political agenda?

    I just find google less reliable in the past 10 years and very much so the past 5 years. I think this because of move from database search to AI search.

    I never had problem searching for stuff before.

    I also find in past the more you type the more likely you to find what you are looking for and using bloolean search like AND, NOT ,OR, quote so on would really help and now it hardly works at all.

    I think problem is move from database kay word search to AI looking at the keywords and saying I think this what you are looking for and not looking for .

    2018? Really?
    If you're searching for things along those lines, you deserve whatever you get!

    Try some of the real 2020 topics.

    I tend to agree with you, it appears over last 3 years. If I search for anything I get a lot of say 80% unwanted stuff instead of just what I search for even using "--". It also looks they deleted/got rid of old stuff.
