Is Google getting more useless for old Fogeys, have search engines got their priorities wrong?

I use Duckduckgo. A lot more secure and private for web searches.

Well, for example, you search for a literal meaning for something, and, all you get is stuff about say a film or unknown celeb or some-at or other.

You can find the literal, but, you have to be very specific.

IO W, you have to know the meaning before you ask for it Spitty?
Would that be correct?

Sometimes you end up with some very strange results for quite innocent searches Spitty......

Re: Google

Google's got it wrong ... they seem to think we're on the internet either because we're looking to buy something or because we're stinking rotten perverts.

Thanks for the tip Judd. I've just installed this on my PC.
