Google has really gone down the shitter so far as to be near useless sometimes.
I can’t remember what I tried to search for a few days ago, but I used “quotes” to restrict the search (not that modifiers mean shit anymore, they’re often completely ignored) and got zero search results.
Zero.
It wasn’t even that restrictive of a search term. Nowhere on the entire english speaking internet has someone not written what I asked for? Literally impossible. Want to know how bad it was? It couldn’t even be bothered to give shitty AI results.
15 years ago there would have been several pages of results. But now, nothing. Probably because my request couldn’t be monetized.

Did you try other search engines?
Yes. DDG and SearXNG.
I warmly recommend Ecosia
why provide indexed search results when nothing and ai slop is fine? reroute all power to the nothing slop generation machines
