I'm pretty disappointed with Google's search these days. 99% of the time I just want plain old text search results. No pictures, videos, maps, javascript previews, etc. Just the text.
Today I was searching for "(vendor name) promo code"
And back came results about programming. Because code, when not a noun, is a verb for "to program." It's just awful. Sometimes getting no results is more useful than getting broader results that I need to parse just to establish I'm not going to find what I'm searching for.
in any case, it's clear google doesn't think I'm looking for source code.
If you really just want text results, with no shinies (shineys? shinys?), there's gotta be something out there that does this. If not, maybe a browser extension is in order? It'd have an easier time cleaning stuff up. I could add it to my ever-lengthening todo list...
disable CSS, javascript, images, and plugins. :) (though it seems Chrome doesn't have this anywhere that's simple to do...)
