@PatrickoftheG@mastodon.social (and of course, startpage recently started dabbling in pissbots. I'd be gone already if ANY of the alternatives I tried weren't also gargling googlepiss and/or ignoring operators and thus completely fucking useless)

@sinvega@mas.to My love affair with Google, and I got into it knowingly, ended when that started happening on a more than "this has to be a glitch" level. If I am trying to exclude something and your best idea is to include it, it's the total opposite of what I want. I mourn the days when I could use Hotbot, some quotations marks, and a minus sign to find anything out there easily. All the alternatives are drinking deep of the piss right now and I can't stand the smell of it on their breath.
