Google’s results have been getting worse over time, but it seems like the last couple years, they’ve taken a steep nose-dive, completely overrun with crappy content farming.

I’ve mitigated a lot of that by doing searches for any kind of product comparison or technical question with “site:reddit.com”, but now with the possibility that that trick will become less useful over time as well…?

Yeah. What search engines are other tech folks using?

There are a lot of bangs as well.

Try !loblaws maple syrup as I see you’re from Canada.

And to see if there is a bang already for a website you use often, use !bang lemmy or whatever to see the list of !bangs for that site
