On a more serious tone, the quality of Google search results is continuously degrading.

Most annoying thing is when I restrict keywords and they still show up on the search results.
Now when I can’t find something on Google, instead of refining keywords, I give DDG or Bing a go first (both not always successful but half the time I find more useful links).
If anyone should be paying me it should be Brave for pointing out their weak spots.
Do you know of any publically available analysis that tries to measure search quality? And that shows that google's results are getting worse over time? It seems like a hard thing to measure, and a few people on HN saying "I searched for x and got garbage results" doesn't seem like the most robust thing.
Less flippantly, people are notoriously bad at objectively remembering stuff. I certainly have no idea how good google search results were even 1 week ago, let alone 1,2 or 3+ or years.
