No. Google is really not useful anymore, it wasn't like that. It is IMPOSSIBLE to search for what you want, Google just think they know what you want and literally change the words to match. It is crazy.

I think Google, with regard to Search here, is in the Skin The Sheep phase of its story arc. Innovation is done, market dominance is here, no point in innovating because they're making so much money. The total shit state that is Google Search these days is a tacit admission that search as we know it is over. No more innovating, instead lets suck as much money out of this thing as we can today because its going away. Good news is things become pure profit for Google while they wait for the inevitable changing of the guard and their replacement becomes the new normal.
