Google is so unbearable because they are no longer interested in you finding the answer to your query; they're interested in selling your query and its context to the highest bidder. That conflict of interest manifests in what Google has become.
Just add “Reddit” to the search string Reddit is what the internet used to be back when it was useful.

If this picks up, google will just start ignoring the modifiers. It's like tv again, but with a lot more channels.
> Oh, and also, Miller is hiring if you’re interested in joining the team. I want to change my tire! Get off my back, and stop trying to make money off me for one second while I solve this tire crisis. So, you want someone to help you and you are pissed when they don't want to do it for free?
So you expect them to write an article on how to fix your tyres for free? And what about the hosting costs?
Counter example: "what is an iris" when wondering about anatomy brings up Wikipedia as the first link. Perfect. With the .edu trick the first link is about the flower, and there's nothing about the human eye anywhere on the first page of results.
Okay, but iris does have two meanings and sometimes you need to be specific in your queries. Your original query would not have been perfect if you were in fact wondering about the flower. "what is an iris anatomy site:*.edu" is enough to bring up this as the first result: https://www.umkelloggeye.org/conditions-treatments/anatomy-e...
e: ah it looks like it is a .edu that redirects to a .org
https://www.kellogg.umich.edu/patientcare/conditions/anatomy...
Or just use DuckDuckGo instead of google.
It's not really any better in terms of the results it serves up. If it had a filter to only show pages that didn't have cookie popups then maybe I'd look at it again.
