In a similar vein, I feel like a part of me is missing since google doesn't really work the way it used to anymore. Never in my adult life very often have I needed the answer to something trivial and been unable to find it very quickly. It's extremely unsettling.


Before the days of Google, I used "Ask Jeeves" which recommended search queries be submitted in the form of a question. Even after switching to Google decades ago, I have kept that approach. But despite so many saying that Google isn't as good as search as it once was, that isn't my experience. Curious, do you enter your searches as a question ?


If you enter your searches as a question all you get are Quora and WikiHow links, which are two of the worst websites in existence when it comes to finding useful information.

Besides that's not how search term indexing works.


Have you tried Kagi? It's not "peak Google", but at least I don't miss it so much anymore.
