    Default Google Search Results?

    Has anyone noticed the recent short comings in google results recently? I went to look up haw to disable a safety feature in my 4 Runner and it seems almost no results come up. Seemed like a week ago stuff like this was fine. Any results that do come up seem to be all advertisements.

    Did I just look at too much porn and google is limiting my MAC/IP addresses?

    I feel like I've noticed a pretty steep decline over the last year or two. Seems like two pages of hardly related things and that's it.

    Yep. Huge reduction. It is all about funneling you to paid advertising.

    Google made its reputation on getting the most comprehensive search results. Today, Google censors your results to satisfy its Chinese masters and to satisfy its corporate ego to coerce you into goodthink.

    Google gets worse every day. At this point the only Google search I use is maps (because I like street view).

    I find I get more useful results with Duck Duck Go.

    Yes.

    I used duck duck go today when I couldn't find some technical details regarding this (long expletive coming) )&@(*%*&@%$*&*&^(@#*$(__@#*@#&@@# Sawgrass sublimation Printer my wife uses.

    Found the mfr tech info right off. Didn't help the POS, but I found out what the error code was and a few potential fixes - none of which have worked so far. ;-( $500 boat anchor I guess.

    (more off topic ) FWIW, the other printer she uses is a mfr I truly despise, but the best lower cost option for her to print larger format and as a backup. Took me 4 hours to get that MF running right out of the damn box.
