One simple tweak I wish I could do in google would be to eliminate search results based on broad criteria. For example, no sites that have a product for sale, no sites that repackage contents from other sites, no sites that include a given word, no sites that serve adds.

You can instruct Google not to include sites with a given word by prefixing the excluded words with a dash. For ex:

> buy hoes -sex -porn

Yes, but the rest is not solved by that. Google has really let the search game slide for a while.

They've even removed a lot of the useful search operators. Someone needs to bring advanced search back in a competing search engine.

But the goal isn't good search. It's good enough search with Google's narrative (usually ads) filling in the space between.
