Have the search results degraded that much in your opinion? I still find their results the most useful.

96% of revenue in the most recent quarter came from Advertising. If Google hadn't pioneered contextually relevant advertising it would likely be bankrupt today (as no VC would front the money it costs to run and maintain the datacenters powering search today).

The search results are a hell of a lot better than they were a year or two ago. Content farm results, gone! Thank Jebus.
