Lately my google search results have been total garbage.
Google confuses terms. Whenever searching for something rare, it just "autocorrects" the search term to something common. It often modifies product model numbers and gives results you didn't ask for.
It helpfully drops search terms the user explicitly provides it. It doesn't even help to put + in front of the words, like some years ago.
There's advanced search, but the results are only marginally better and it's horrible to use.
