any 1 else notice googles search results even with highly specified querys got quite poor recently? 4 example if u search site:xltronic.com and then a artist name in quotes i get some results, sum of wich r just topic lists. and u can see from the cached topic list results there are actual relevent THREADS which apparently not are indexed...?? why isnt google even indexing all of xltronic anymore? when it has the links 2 those threads in extant cached pages? another sad incident happened yesterday i was searching (in quotes) for a passage from a book. google said there was 0 results so they did the usual thing get rid of the quoteation marks and say maybe u want these results without the quotes. and the 1st and 2nd results for that were pages with the actual exact quoted text i searched....??? wtf if i searched 4 the text in quotes, and there is indexed pages with the exact text why doesnt it just find it without haveing 2 remove the quotes unefortunately ive tryed other search engines like bing and duck duck go and neither of them seem like there any better at search results (ppl not advanced enuf iq or high experience level searchers to understand wut im talking about pls dont respond to this thread) |

I cant prove it, but someone in government has probably had a word in googles ear that its not good to have a informed population if you don't want them to start building guillotines |

i like duckduck go best for the !bang shortcuts. i have it set as my search provider, and so i can type these sort of things directly into the url bar: !wiki aphex twin ...and i am sent to the wikipedia page for aphex twin !gi aphex twin ...and i am sent to the google image search results for aphex twin !g aphex twin ...and i am sent to the google search results for aphex twin there are a lot of them. if you ph the program, !php function_name is handy. all of this saves me half a second here, three seconds there. over time, this generates real time savings in my life. duckduckgo's actual search results are meh, but having everything else 3-5 letters away makes it a winner |

mostly, duckduck go seeks to connect you to where you want to go, not keep you on the reservation. |

i never rly saw alot of use in the BANGS cuz in all the browsers u can setup search keywords (started in chrome i think) where u type a letter or word followd by ur search terms and it automatic searches that site without passing thru the 3rd party site like duck go. 4 x ample if i type "d aphex twin" in the address bar in pale moon it searches discogs 4 aphex twin cuz i set d as the keyword 4 discogs search or if i type "w aphex twin" it brings up the aphex twin wikipedia page |

another case of google being totally DUMBED DOWN 2 the point SMART PPL find it unusbale i experienced 2day. sometimes im looking 4 info on a obscure album and just using artist and album name doesnt work so i will type a few track titles in2 the search also. 1 would expect the AND operator used by default inbetween words like it always has but i found searching "artist" "title" "track1" "track2" etc gives n results (a big number > 10000) then adding "track3" THE NUMBER OF RESULTS ACTUALLY GOES UP wtf. then i think maybe googles not doing the AND inbetween words so i put that in and there is no effect. i guess u can click tools > all results dropdown > verbatim and i THINK that works but who knows (i just was getting pages that looked like they had the entire dictionary in them but when u do verbatim google wont even tell u the number of results) |

you can do that in firefox natively from the address bar, just right click on the search box and 'add keyword for this search' |

also while im ranting ill just say years ago when google removed the "discussions" search that wuz the biggest travesty theyve ever perpetuated on netizens cuz real ppl talking about stuff is were most of the real knowlege on the internet is found. u can do some weird stuff like searching 4 specific keywords inurl to make a ok replacement but its not that good |

what I find annoying about the internet and stuff is how stuff that's really old is still proprietary we should have access to all books and magazines that are over 10 years old, or something makes sense |
