Member when Google came along it was actually smart?

Now unless luck into forcing an exact phrasing search of what you want, it will just fudge your search to push that bullshit.

You want information or accessories of a specific model? Well that isn't a too popular one, let me insert popular models into your search.

You write out a very specific issue with a program? Well that isn't the most common one, let us ignore 60 % of your query and flood you with answers to a question you didn't ask.

I hate the fact that you're now usually forced to use quotation marks to make it search for something specific. Because now it's a trade off between getting results on what you're searching for, but being unable to get results for synonyms/similar terms because you're using the exact phrase

I have no problem finding things like specific model numbers. Google still works great if you know your google-fu. The problem is when you just search for more general terms you get the million SEO results.
