I feel like the only thing google is good for is staying under the radar due to SHEER retardation. It's hard to find somethin bout yourself specifically if google can't even use it's "quote" system right. Even then I guess it depends how big your internet foot print is.I truly despise how Google search works.
Cool tips that work with most searches but not Google:
Typing something in quotations is a good way to get that quote verbatim, "Null likes to eat rice". Google will still insist on doing a search of the most popular words in that phrase and likely give you a bunch of rice recipes.
You can do the same quotation trick but use two phrases. "Null likes to eat rice" AND "I love the state of Israel". Null likes to eat rice" NOT "I love the state of Israel". The first two is you search the two individual phrases together and find searches with both of them. The second is one phrase but excluding any results with the other. You can't do this with Google.
Searching with dates also seems to be broken with Google. Posts from a long ago will be recorded as recent post simply because that's when the crawler bot found them. Searching by date for anything old is effectively useless, and trying to find a recent results it's very difficult.
Most of this stuff works perfectly fine with small poorly funded government archives and alternative search engines. For some reason none of it works with Google.
Speaking about google, I DESPISE google lenses?? I miss the old SEARCH BY IMAGE. Now after fucking with google lenses you have to scroll for "can't find it? use google images." Even then when you click that, it'll go "Hmm...Can't find this very obvious thing can you type in a key word???"
Everyday it just get's worse and I didn't know you could go THAT backwards with a search engine.
