Googles search logic
-
Well if you search for THAT, what do you expect! ;)

What are you going to use instead? I haven't noticed any difference. What exactly does it ignore? I did notice that it favors certain sites (like SO) and fails to block obnoxious scum sites (you know the type, the ones who hijack search results with fake hits) but other than that it beats the competition.
As I said if you put in a load of words, only the first few are used in the search, and phrase a question badly, and the results are useless. What else to use? DuckDuckGo, its good, and isnt spyware.

was (and still am) forced to use Bing
Why? How? I sometimes use something called ixquick - basically it's mostly add filtered google with privacy built in, but it also lacks suggestions. (Also doesn't always match google results, but it's refreshing having a search engine just return search results.) Sadly MS have broken bing just like every other product, with only the exceptions: 1. VS (excluding the installer which still auto installs without asking some extra crap), and, 2. SS (been a long while but I believe the DB is still OK, no idea if they broke the tools office though.) - but SS still a problem, somehow SS needs 387 things installed messing up the installed programs list, and wtf depends on what? Also needs around 236 processes running full time. I don't get that, mysql maybe lags a bit but needs only 1 installation and 1 process - easy to manage, easy to clean up.

How: Google is not reachable from our network. Only a few MS sites and, after years of requests, CP and StackOverflow (due to the fact that MSDN, our only approved source of documentation, refers to these sites in its results). Why: because our management comes from the era of manual labour in the fields and manages a software house precisely in the same way, even calling programmers "the software labourers". Don't expect any grain of salt in their brains, ever.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

Same here, but I stopped using them because I got sick of all the requests for personal information, the nagging demands that I read the twice-weekly "policy updates", the incessant insistence that I downgrade to a browser I don't like, etc. If I want to talk to a buddy, I'll talk to a buddy. From a search engine, I only want search results.

Try using it without having already giving them ownership of your life (e.g. without logging in to google+, youtube, etc).

Has anyone noticed in the last few years that it has become utter crap? It ignores anything after the first two words, at best, and gives you the most popular links with those few words in them. Time to ditch it I think, its become useless.
Use verbatim mode. It seems to give the same quality results as early google. There is a Chrome plugin to enable it all the time. Or you can click on 'Tools' -> 'Verbatim', but you can only get there after you search once. (Couldn't stand their results until I figured that out. Very friggin' annoying to have to search the search results!)
