They’re walking the fine line between being shitty enough that you have to refine your search multiple times (thus allowing them to show you more ads), but not being SO shitty that you give up and never come back.
This has been effectively proven by email chains made public through court proceedings. Former head of search left sometime around 2015 because the ad team was being allowed to make search worse to pump their numbers.
New head of search was the guy who ran Yahoo’s search department while they got eaten alive by Google, and he had been working Google’s Ad division after he left Yahoo.
Google was fine as it was before, now it does shit like this. I hate how AI is shoved down our throats. And the results on google nowadays feel so much worse and generic than a few years ago. That isn’t just a feeling I have, right?
Not just you. I feel like search modifiers like “NOT” or “OR” haven’t been working for a good long while either.
They stopped supporting booleans in 2013. This is the list of currently supported search modifiers.
While it’s nice to finally have closure on this, it’s also depressing that they removed that.
Add obscenities to your search for the most optimized results. It drops the AI component and seems to provide the more direct results we used to get.
Add …in my ass to your last search query.
I just get X-rated results.
Say -fuck with a hyphen at the beginning so that it doesnt search for it.
-fuck, that’s good.
It appears you were looking for Lara Croft in the nude. I think I’ve found what you’re looking for…

Edit: I can provide a build script for that.
Debian Linux Script…
TR1X-Debian-3.sh
I… Really am over paid for what I do if you can just whip out a script like that
I get bored sometimes.
Hope the script didn’t give you any trouble.
If you comment out the title screen download section, it’ll install regular Tomb Raider instead.
Append ?udm=14 to your Google search results

I’m not opening that Rick Astley link, thank you.
No it’s a real link
Mmmm that’s what Rick would say
I’d rather use anything else
They’re an ad company that just happens to offer search as a way to show ads.
Their ideal scenario is one where you search forever and never find what you were looking for.

Huh. Interesting! Thanks!
One of the reason why I advice people to switch to Ecosia or DuckDuckGo
Really? Felt like Google jumped the shark quite awhile before this even started.
It been a downhill slope that just keeps getting steeper. They’re basically falling off a cliff right now, and their parachute is improving AI.
