I used this quite frequently but since Google “”““improved””“” it last year (there was a popular HN post complaining about this) it doesn’t work anymore. Search for a domain name with quotation marks for example just recombines the contents of the domain and returns a bunch of unrelated content completely cluttering what I am looking for. Until last year it used to return no search results if there weren’t any exact matches, which is the whole point.
Does someone have a work around for this phenomenal Google decision?
There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
Google is preparing to basically replace it’s old search engine with their own AI based search. I happen to be a beta tester of their AI within GDocs and GMail, and honestly I’m not impressed.
I’m typically not impressed with anything that Google puts out nowadays.
I don’t know what the people working there are doing. Probably just replacing burned-out components in server farms.
