Google is garbage. It’s a complaint I’ve had for quite a while now. It used to be good at searching and obeying modifiers (-, “quotes” and the like). It would give you tens of pages of results and the result you wanted would almost always be on the first page. Now all it does is give you, in order: AI results that are incomplete or wrong, the best monetized youtube results, sponsored results, and then shitty SEO site results, and you’ll be lucky if any of that contains what you’re looking for. So you try “-“ to eliminate some garbage, but google takes that as incentive to offer you even more of what you don’t want. Then you try “search term” in quotes to be specific, and google offers zero results. Like in the billions of web pages that exist, nobody has ever written or discussed the thing you’re looking for? You get zero because it isn’t monetized or something.
Google is no longer a search engine, it’s an ad-server returning profitably monetized web pages.
