The reason I ask this, is that Google through the years has become more "smart", resulting, more and more, in totally unwanted results.
In the old days (about a year ago?), if i searched for the exact phrase, I would only find the exact phrase. But now? When searching, for instance, for "3,5,7", I expect to find just that: 3,5,7
and not, as the results show:
3:5/7
3-5-7
3 5/7
3 5 7
3, 5-7
3-5, 7
3 (5/7
3:5 - 7
The same goes for letters. Just try a search for "SEC" (as in wine) and see what Google comes up with. The bold texts in the results are what is actual found as SEC
Heck! It won't even limit itself to 5 characters!!!! I've already TWICE contacted Google about this, but so far have not received any reply.
What is your opinion? Has this change made it easier to find what you search for? Or, as I have experienced, do the extra results take more time to find the right information?
