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.
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.
