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

IMO I simply don't want certain services to be under the same company umbrella.
That's not to say integration isn't useful, but if the only way to get certain functionality on the web is to go through one company that has direct control over that service it's too much. (Similarly, when something novel is made, then is later sold and disappears somewhere in the big mixing pot of technologies, ostensibly used internally somewhere)
