Poof Posted January 1, 2018 Author Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Exactly! It’s like now you have to not only know what it is u want to find but how to manipulate the thing to make it give you the thing you want and good lord help u if you’re trying to find something about your friend and they happen to have the same name as an athlete or something Edited January 1, 2018 by Poof 1

Poof Posted January 1, 2018 Author Posted January 1, 2018 And sometimes w/fuckin google when you put something in quotes or a -something to exclude it, it just ignores your search booleans bc it thinks it know better
Codename: Jackass Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I don't think I've ever used quotes or plus/minus in a search and have it give me any meaningful change to the results.

I use DuckDuckGo 90% of the time. I used to curse the fact that it wasn’t as modern as the other search engines, but lately it actually gives me better results bc it’s more oldschool

I read some stuff about the developers at DDG that gave me a sour feeling but now I can't recall what they were and I'm too entrenched in habit to change now.
