A recent example was an obscure laser etched item, I used to just be able to put the 3 words together and bam I could find website containing it. Like very few people talked about it etc and no one was doing the same thing so it should be an easy find. Now when I search it I get tons of laser etched this or that yadda yadda but its as if its only keying on that word and ignoring the fact that not one of these top/all posts even contains the other words.

Yeah, I'm seeing that too.

Google doesn't seem able to find anything any more.

Just seems to pick from a few bigger sites with word hits, then order those results by the other words.

Used to be you could put a + in front of the word you are actually interested in and have a better chance.

But now that only searches google plus pages it always turns up nothing.

I did not, but I just looked into it now and found some information I was unaware of, so thank you.
