1995................
Google is run by a left wing racist Indian. He hates Trump, hates whites, hates Christians, and hates conservatives. Once you align with that it all makes sense.
Everywhere I search is a joke. If you ask for something to do with conservatism you are shown the opposite. Ask about problems with EVs, you get articles extolling them.
Noticed the problem at some point after I finished the first draft of my book. It became abundantly clear that their algorithms had changed dramatically.
Because I do research, I don't want searches tailored to my BIASES.
There needs to be a toggle button at the top of the browser. ALL browsers, including another to turn off 'ranked results'.
I have yet to find a suitable browser for hard research and will review this thread later for suggestions.
Good article! Thanks for posting. I too get the same results when searching for every day items. The results are always something that I did not ask for. Even putting the exact name of soemthing in quotes, I get unrelated BS.
I use it for answering questions with no political implications. Then I ignore anything commercially oriented. That works well for me. I get an email from a friend with a new hamstring tendon break. Before I call them, I check it on google. Always gives me enough info to intelligently discuss the problem.
I just know to avoid anything Trump related. For those questions, I use the search functions on conservative websites. That almost always gets me what I want.
Amen to that. I do not want my biases catered to.
I enjoyed searches 15 to 20 years ago. I could find what I was looking for and I could find surprises.
.
search kids play ideas or anything like that, and all you get are minority kids of all colors except whites. I use the Ruskie site Yandex! gives you what your looking for with nothing to proove...
I never use it. I tried searching “Triumph motorcycle parts” a couple of years back. I got 2 pages of auto parts links before Triumph showed up. Lol. Google is worthless.
2012, 2013 or so. They stopped being a search engine long ago. They call their product a decision engine. They will provide results as they see fit in love with their advertisers and politics.
All the old tricks of quotation marks etc are long gone.
Utterly worthless for search. I try to search for things I know exist and get things utterly unrelated.
Six or seven tries doesn’t improve the result.
Elon Musk should start a new search engine. As a guess, I would say he is probably working on it at some level right now.
2006
I’ve been using

Forget ever getting one of these korporations to change their search engine. Someone could make millions buy building a separate tool that takes all the results from a search engine (or multiple search engines) and then filters them downstream, where the search engine is "blind" to the downstream filtering. The censoring korporations can continue to collect their money from globalists while the users can have a tool that actually works.
Users could select such options as:
-"Don't show results from my blocked site list." (I don't want to see garbage from ABCCBSCNNNBCNPRNYTWAPO etc.)
-"Don't show results from sites that require a subscription that I don't have."
-"Include ads." or "Don't include ads."
-"Use my search history." or "Don't use my search history."
-"Run it again but don't include results from previous searches."
-"Search with my profile A,B,C..." (I'm searching as part of my job., I'm searching for personal reasons., etc.)
-"Rerun my saved search."
The downstream engine could also have the option to export your saved searches, profiles, etc. for you to use on other devices and also to share with others.
What’s the significance of 2006?
Years ago.
Try doing a search for natural remedies for a cold or sore throat.
The links are all to the NIH and CDC journals and research papers.
You can’t find much of ANYTHING from the natural health community that isn’t connected to big pharma.
Google just sux....
Yes sometime between 1995 and 1999
I never go to google
