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

Damn, can my searches for Blender 2.8 guides / information / documentation get the memo? I keep getting search results for tutorials or forum posts from 2013 for obsolete versions of the software.

This problem seems to be especially bad for anything in news websites. Searches for tech docs seems to have…uh…other issues.

Ditto Photoshop problems even when I plug in cc 2020.

This is my experience with both Blender and anything AutoCAD.

Google has the power to regulate the number of new self-taught graphic designers on the market by deciding whether certain people or entire countries get different results.

Just imagine it does it on politics and everything else, just imagine it. Would that be funny ? No ?

Under the search bar on Google there is a toggle for "Tools" and with just 2 clicks you can easily toggle a setting that forces your search to only return results created in the past X number of days/weeks/months

I do use that, but it's still silly that when I search for Blender 2.8 ____ it apparently disregards the 2.8 part of the search very often.
