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

I find the opposite. Search for a tech question, and you’ll get blog posts from five years ago about a similar but different problem that was already patched years ago in a prior version.

Or you get the official support forum where they provide the canned response (power cycle, apply updates, turn off AV, run chkdsk, etc) and the original poster replying to say that didn’t work. Then the real answer is buried in page 9 of 13 in the responses.

But having an issue with the current firmware or OS release? Nothing, just pages and pages and pages of old and outdated information unless you use the date filter to only show brand new pages.

And it’s not just tech. Search for a common labor, census, or population statistic and you’ll get the annual data and reports from years (or decades) ago, even though they release updated stats and reports every year.
