    Google has been so bad it’s making bing better. No seriously, bing is better than Google.

        Truth, but it’s three more key presses when I can just click the bookmark under the address bar instead of clicking the address bar. Takes you three times longer!

            I fucking hate the death of keyboard shortcuts and not being able to reliably tab through fields. Particularly in UIs designed for data entry.

            All our patient care reporting software has gone to a touch-screen centric UI … when half the fields still require typing information in.

    I always bookmark sites I know I will use frequently. I didn’t realize people didn’t do that anymore lol

    What happened to the search engines? They always seem to work fine for me

      My problem is that when I search for something, I often want to find precisely the text that I’m searching for. Not just some of the words, not synonyms, and not random stuff with no apparent connection to it. Putting the search query in quotes doesn’t always help.

      I mostly get sponsored sites or content farms that repeat the same text about things as other context farms, but no answers to what I’m actually looking for. Or I want to know about something that happened a while ago, but it only gives me results for the most recent version of the thing despite including details that should limit it to the prior one.

      My search criteria is the same as I used 10 years ago when I actually got helpful results.

      Search engine optimization has ruined search engines.
