Years ago, Google was a simple fast and efficient Internet web search engine. At present Google is a giant technology behemoth seeking total control over every aspect of technology from the Internet backbone itself, to telecommunications, Artificial Intelligence and politics.
Unlike its streamlined, efficient former self, Google Search is now bloated and overmonetized. It’s harder now to find answers that feel authoritative or uncompromised [...] the Justice Department and a group of states will argue that the company violated antitrust laws by striking deals to protect its monopoly position.
SEO (search engine optimization) has ruined Google. Unless you are looking for something obvious, all the search results are websites that are barely tangential to your search terms.
Mason Pelt, notable tech writer says, "Google search is worse than ever, and the company isn't financially incentivized to fix it," and "I'll occasionally use Google to find a specific but only half-recalled crumb of content. Increasingly I use services other than Google because Google sucks as a search engine."
