one thing to always remember, which may also easily repulse you from ever using google search again - it does not give search results. it generates a carefully crafted page which caters to your bubble. so does FB, so does Twitter, etc. just using different algos. Google search does not return the same results for the same query for different people, which a) makes it so different from AltaVista and historical search…
Well I feel like that would be ok if 1) they told you this 2) it actually gave you those relevant results It does make troubleshooting officially impossible, can't tell people its the 3rd link on this specific query in google.
indeed, and the fact they don't tell you many things like... common ethics would require to, makes the whole service even more... despicable.
