Search engines are as useless now as Altavista used to be. I know exactly what I’m looking for I put in the keywords. In quotes. And the domain.
Results are something recent with one keyword. Not even the correct domain.
Why doesn’t google have “2005 mode”? When it worked.

I won’t mention the other search engines which didn’t bother with the keywords, but just assumed “anything at all about similar situations”

There is a 7 point guide to protesting, written by Kenyan students in 2014(?) and posted on their school newspaper. I copied it into my tumblr so it wouldn’t vanish and get lost.
Thanks to useless fucking search engines, it hasn’t vanished, it is just lost.

not following the thread, but as an avid user of search engines past the 101 mode...
the # of sites out there increases X fast, search engines increase Y fast in indexing. no clue what the X to Y ratio is, but I suspect that might be an issue.
1/2

and I literally do searches for 'new' content based on numeric designations (e.g. CVE IDs) on a daily basis, often getting no results, trying again 3, 6, 9, 12 hours later and finding them. or other times, not finding anything a month later.

Same searches: Bing? Yandex? DuckDuckGo?
