Hi, I work on Google search. I'd be interested in any specific examples of queries that you think give worse results today than in the past.

"Interstate 76 custom maps"

I'm sure it's confusing to your algorithms on many levels. Is it a map of the highway that I want? Oh, there's this game, let's add that too. What about some news about the highway?

I just want some new roads to frag on... I get one result with what I'm looking for.

I can't give you specific examples, but I occasionally google news stories trying to find sources, followups, or more information - only to be flooded with more copies of the exact same news story. And that only goes for stories I have a link for already; half-remembered stories are practically impossible to search for.
