    I’m not joking one bit when I say my Google results were several times more accurate 10 years ago, maybe even 15. Using Google is a chore now. Sketchy SEO is a major reason I hate searching for anything on the Internet these days, but ads and fake content made it downright miserable.

      It doesn’t help that Google tries to guess what you actually wanted to search for.

        More and more often I find myself clicking on my original text because Google decided it knows better than I do what I’m looking for.

      Give Kagi a go, it gives (usually) much better results. It’s a paid service, but you get 100 free searches as a trial

        Kagi is great. I just wish it was a little bit cheaper. Every time I search more I’m aware it’s costing me.
