I know it’s been getting worse over time, but I could still find what I needed after some digging.
Recently it’s been like 10 minutes of adjusting search terms, still getting completely useless or irrelevant results, and me just giving up afterwards. Other search engines seem just as bad.
does it also straight up ignore special commands like -whatever i could swear you could use that on many sites and it worked as "exclude this "
I find that it often laughs at your excluded search terms and includes them anyway
it sometimes seem to, most advanced searching still works, at least on DDG
