has google's search become worse over the years...?

[anonin]

i think it has, it used to be google was the place to go when you needed to find something, now i'm finding out google is becoming a useless hyped up peice of shit. Whatever search algorithm those two geeks who founded it came up with certainly isn't in place now. I've been finding out yahoo is better, anyone else feel me on this?

Although I wouldn't say it has gotten worse per say. But I notice that it times out quite a bit. Especially in the past few months. Sometimes I say fuck it and go to www.alltheweb.com which is a good alternative to google.

i think the variety of pages that its spiders search has increased greatly over a period of time, maybe that is why you are experiencing problems, how much do u dig?

Re: has google's search become worse over the years...?

yes, because they are not pruning old entries and dead links.

Like someone said above, their Spiders are nuts.

also....

Specialty search engines will be on the rise, and there is good reasons for this. Currently the serps on Google, and Yahoo! have become a royal mess! Finding relevant content is very difficult, and you can not blame spammers for this! Google in particular as tightened it’s algo so much to fight spam that it has become the worse search engine for relevancy as proven by various experiments by individual seo webmasters who monitor the top 3 search engines for relevance.

I said it before and I'll say it again, if you're having a hard time finding relevant info, you need to redefine your search strategy. As for specialized search engines: www.booble.com
