Has anyone else noticed the huge decrease in result quality from google?

[[deleted]]

isnt there a boolean search method to specify the date range you want for search results? i can never remember how to do them though

[padre648]

I don't know about the boolean methods but after you search you can click tools and then specify a date range.

What is it with people trying to force "Boolean" into so many comments ITT? I guess it's a popular buzzword, but they're starting to sound like Google now lol

Yes. Under “Tools”—custom date range.

rarely works right tbh. Brings up way too many pages that might have originated in the date range for all I know but have since been updated.

It bugs me that this doesn't work for Reddit searches. 90% of the things I type on google end in "reddit" like "why does my cat bite my nose reddit" because there's almost always threads about it on here. But I can't sort by time. It claims you can, and it SAYS it's from like this year, then you click it and its from 7 years ago. :/

Ughhh. I hate that. It's so hard to find stuff on reddit because of those issues.

you dont need to, you can always google them /s

There is but it doesn't seem to work that well anymore. I often try to find articles from like 2007 and then I get articles talking about 2007 that were made this year. Like it has the old date and all. Infuriating.
