Beware! Scammers are sending out bogus AI-generated seating plans for this week's BrightonSEO.
Sadly, I won't be there this time around – with or without a fake invistation.

It used to be you went online to search
"fleece lined work pants 30x30" and
returned a handful of results that met
your criteria. Thanks to technological
improvements, that is no longer
possible

This has been driving me insane.
I used to be "good* at search. It was a whole thing - I found
people's "lost songs" or their unknown-source childhood
stuffed toy or whatever from Google.
Now, you can't search for the exact brand/design name of
something and get accurate answers. It drives me spare on
Amazon - if I search for XYZ and you don't have any, or you
only have 2, tell me that.
wouldn't mind if it said "Here are 2 XYZ. Shoppers also
searched for ... " Instead it'll just throw a random, barely-
linked pile of results and you have to wade through every
single one to see if the thing you want exists.

"HIS. For ages I used to say that I had "high Google-Fu". I
could find "anything* because I knew how to use strings to
enhance searches. The string commands haven't even
worked for well over a year or more, far before they put in
this infernal (and often wrong!) Al BS on top.
I used to be able to search for recipes and easily eliminate
unwanted ingredients with a -. For example I'd look for low-
carb desserts but without the zillions that use peanut butter
simply by searching for something like:
low carb chocolate dessert recipe -peanut
And I'd get a slew of on-point suggestions. For some time
now if you do -peanut Google ignores the - and assumes
you want recipes stuffed with peanuts.
Where it's even worse now is now you get directed to sites
full of bogus Al recipes that don't even make sense. But
they have peanuts in them.
I used to be able to use reverse image searches to find out
who made that awesome art so I could give credit in my
share. They've removed that ability entirely and replaced it
with Lens, which is Al BS just showing you more like what
you looked for. (Rebecca Watson complained about this in
her recent video about JD Vance jizz cup rumours and I
apologise for that sentence but ... yeah. Watson is great, go
find her on Youtube and subscribe because she went into
detail about how Google has become less and less useful for
debunking.)
This isn't just about Google inserting shopping ads instead
of what you wanted to learn about. That's bad. But the
results now are just *broken *. The tools we used to have to
make searches better have been removed. Google no
onger wants us to find the answers we seek, but the
answers they want us to have, and that's super creepy and
dangerous.
And the alternatives are either using Google in the back end
or have other significant barriers to use.
This sucks.

Duckduckgo and all the other alternatives work this way too,
now.
