I stopped using google search a few years ago, for 95% of the time I use DDG (and then sometimes I do a fallback !g), but as it was down yesterday (thanks to Microsoft) I had to use GS a few times. Never before I had to add `-phrase` so often to eliminate results I didn't want to see. I was looking for some podman tips and had to keep adding -kubernetes and -openshift to every single query. It really just showed me how much worse GS became since I left it, but also no regrets.

Remember when Google broke boolean search operators because they wanted "Google+" to come up first?

They've been making unspeakably bad decisions about search for a looong time, at this point.
