@L4s What I'm frustrated with Google search engine, is how it prevent to be smart and kept suggesting keywords that are not relevant to what in searching, the suggested result is totally irrelevant except for one common letter.

If Google makes changes that stop people from clicking through to reddit due to the protests then the protests will have likely done more lasting damage than anyone imagined.
This is a good change as it may expand to more sites. I'm one of those users that used reddit in query often looking for opinions or reviews. We should get Lemmy on the list.
Let's just say that my use of the Wayback Machine is up by 1000% since the blackout started
Google has not been shy about grabbing content from other sites and showing it directly on their search page.
I imagine part of their frustration is that the technical issue of caching and showing relevant reddit/stackexchange/y!answers in their search results is a solved problem, but they're being held back by pesky legal and business constraints, and therefore are forced to remain vulnerable to external events.

Google today reminds me of what AltaVista became before Google. ChatGPT is amazing but now it and other LLMs are being used to generate crap content. I fear that the incestuous nature of AI training on AI may lead to “inbreeding” and all the problems that brings with it.
Current way to search on google for me is: Add reddit to search string, and set data to before may 1st 2023 Copy link suggested by google and change reddit to reveddit or any of the alternatives there
Results will go out of date but maybe this will tide me over until a good lemmy search is up and running.
I'm "not quite happy" with the current state of Google, either. What are you going to do about that? You used to be a good search engine... what the hell happened?
