Google search absolutely sucks now. Do you think there will be another super search engine like Google was ever again?

You can't find shit except the most obvious thing on Google search now and all the other search engines aren't too good, either. You can only find the most basic of queries. Good luck finding anything more than 10 years old. The internet was already fully grown by 2005, and now all that data is forever lost now that Google fucking sucks now

I keep hoping that another search engine will rise up and become as good as Google was back 20 years ago, where you could find ANYTHING.
 
Yeah. Chatgpt has taken over google as my main engine. When I do google, I haven't noticed any difference though

Google search sucks, and also Google maps is getting worse. I don't know if there's a setting to fix it, but often Google map search history will show you your keyword searches like restaurants instead of the actual places you've visited. I'm guessing they do this to get more revenue.

Imo it's a mix. Maximum monetization means a lot more push towards paying customers in your search and Google now limits the amount of results to absurd small size. Earlier you had dozens of pages of results. Now it often caps after 4/5 pages. It also feels a lot more censored. I had some political searches were only one position was shown on the first two pages it is strange.
 
Don't go searching for things. The truth is inside you.

Was actually looking for a better search engine recently. I used to be able to find older discussions on forums and such just from specific sentences i remember but none of these older results show up anymore.

Unsurprisingly, Youtube is also a pile of shit when it comes to search results. It will show you maybe a handful at most of what you searched for then either videos you've already watched and everything else is either barely related or irrelevant.
 
I use duckduckgo, works well enough. Google is for obvious stuff, google maps and reviews or 'Reddit + insert question.' Another fun thing about duckduckgo is that it shows you results that are shadowbanned or suppressed on Google. Some things are literally unfindable if you go through the big G.

Yeah it's insane the level of censorship. Their news results are pure propaganda. They even censor memes and shit at this point.

Youtube, Google, Facebook, all pretty much unusable now.

Instagram is still the wild west though. The comment sections on Instagram are off the hook.

Google maps is fucking dogshit now. I want the long route. I want to take the ring road and avoid traffic. I don't care if it's 10km longer, it will save me half an hour. They refuse to show it now. Fuck them.
 
I love when you search something and you get the wrong think alert aka fact check below the search to let you know it's not good to think beyond the official narrative.
 
Once you use Russian search engines, you realize how bad the propaganda and censorship is in the States.
