Google used to be the top search engine out there with useful results at the top...until the money got to them and most of the top entries are paid-for misleading ads for other crap.

I switched to 'duck duck go' for more private, accurate results.

PS: what really started to piss me off with google was searching for something, specifically telling it to NOT search certain site or terms (just put a minus sign - in front of whatever you don't want showing up in results) and it would completely ignore that request and search FOR those things I told it not to.
