I'd agree with this assessment. Searching for anything technical seems to especially have terrible results. I'm getting to the point that "verbatim" and "this year" feel like they should be defaults. Oh, and it really, really needs a "filter out anything that looks even remotely like a top 10" switch.

Inverse of "this year" is also very frequently desired.

Searching for a topic that's recently become, er, topical, but I'm interested in earlier discussion.

DDG's very limited date-ranged search is especially frustrating here. Book search is often more useful.
