    Agree. Something definitely changed in the last two years. It’s unbelievably bad now, to the point where I give up if the answer isn’t among the first 3 results. It’s insane.

      As others mentioned, Google just straight up ignores most of my quotes and excludes and just shows me what it wants to. Shockingly bad, I remember a time when if I couldn’t find something, it was my own failing.

      edit: this is with ad-blockers etc btw. Imagine using Google raw, must give you e-AIDS
