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’ve noticed this even when trying to find the name of a song. I used to be able to search:

    lyrics “a specific part of the song I remember” whatever random words I can remember out of order

    and it would very reliably find songs, even obscure ones. Now the only way it works is if I happen to remember part of the name of the song, usually it’s full of entries for the same popular song that has one word in the title that I included that is definitely not what I’m looking for.

    It sounds stupid, but I really miss that working.
