Whereas duckduckgo will return stuff that actually matches your search.

One upon a time Google was a really cool search engine. Entire books were written about how to use it wisely. E.g.

   Google Hacks
   100 Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools

Now, it's impossible to properly qualify searches. Quotes don't mean shit. Appending "&tbs=li:1" to get verbatim results doesn't mean shit.

Google just does whatever the hell it wants to. Which is probably great for the unwashed masses but really sucks for advanced users.

Thank you. Could not agree more.

I remember when you could finesse google for really odd or specific shit and its damn near impossible now.
