What search engine is currently showing the most useful results? What other tricks do we have aside of adding "reddit" or whatever internet community to the results?
Yep, Google decided it was too complicated and removed it all. Dont know how it was too complicated, people just wouldn't use it if they didn't know about it. They felt "natural language" would be more useful. Bullshit, I search for "foo and bar" it'll return me results for foo and ignore the rest
Yeah I really miss those days of logical operands. Back in the Alta Vista days I could do Boolean searches, but yeah that's been replaced with speech recognition which doesn't work as well. To this day I still like the Boolean search better. Newer does not always mean better. Most of the time it only means dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.
