What’s your opinion? Does google really “not work” anymore? Are there any better search engines? Why did the quality of search results go down? I honestly stumbled onto this question through this music video, what is ironic in it’s own way i feel…

I append “site:Reddit.com” (I know, I know) to basically every search I perform. It’s the only reliable way at this point to see things written genuinely by real people.

That used to work until reddit started a war against it’s own moderators and made a lot of people leave to Lemmy.

Reddit is in a slow death spiral I believe.

And to stop it from guessing what it thinks you really meant, change it to “Verbatim” search mode under the Tools button, bottom right below the search bar.

Thank you! I had no idea that was an option you could change.
