Is Google starting to suck?
« on: March 03, 2005, 12:37:39 AM »
It seems over the past two months Google has been getting really bad in regular text searches.

Today it finds 0 links for "best desktop font"

Is there something better anyone else has found? Google is getting bad.

All you get on Google, are links to shopping sites.
I personally use www.mamma.com - The mother of all search engines.

Google is being ruined by people artificially increasing their page ranking and people paying to have their page listed :/
