With misinformation about and how shit Google search is lately, it’s definitely a skill worth learning.
“I used to be able to Google like you, but then they changed what Google was and now what I can do doesn’t work, and what you have to do seems weird and scary to me.”
For reals. I never bookmarked anything as I’d just regoogle what I was looking for but as of six months ago I can’t find shit. It’s like it never existed and all I get is spam websites that’s are skinned to looks genuine. I’m honestly going back to Askjeeves.com…
Try DuckDuckGo - I believe its selling point is that it is not as bad as Bing.:-)
It’s Bing without tracking. And the things like quotation marks still work. However, baseline search using it has still gone to shit.
If it is any consolation, a good chunk of those bookmarks would lead to deadlinks or domains bought by someone else.
Yeah. It shows me first result article that copypasta from other place which is straight out wrong. Went to ddg and it start to show result that makes sense. It’s no wonder people look up reddit thread for info. It also doesn’t show too much oldschool forum, or at least it’s buried down 20page later. It’s unusable.
Holy hell!
“I’ve got 10 years of googling experience”.
“Sorry, we only accept candidates with 12 years of googling experience”.
Holy shit, this guy only Google searches with {google:baseURL}/search?udm=14&q=%s
To be fair you could call this “search optimisation” and the people on Linkedin would eat this up
