This is much ado about nothing. Google has a few search problems, and they always have, and they always improve.

Also, if Marco is going to list some problems, how about listing some problem searches? I search for what he lists, and the top result is fine in most cases, and debatable in others.

You folks think Google sucks? I don't. It's awesome, and I rely on it more everyday.



It really depends on what you're searching for. I purchased an handset that runs android in september and was hoping to find out when it would be upgraded to a newer version of android. The first 2 pages were almost completely filled with the same article.

to be fair though, I tried the same search on duckduckgo and bing and got mostly the same results.

I was just expecting google to be better than that.


Sounds like an obscure search, and if you aren't going to list the search terms you tried, it's really hard to judge whether it's user error or Google error. Google is only psychic to a point.


It's a lot less good than it used to be.
