My 5G speed is off the scale, but I am now so magnetic I cannot get out of the car.

Argh! My mind went to uninhabitable which is 13 letters and I couldn't shake that line of thought even though I couldn't get it to fit the clue. It was just too close, in my mind anyway.
Even so, nice clue.

Isn't that universal time?

long live Google search. /s
They have finally managed to make verbatim search unusable. F*** all the executives with their fingers in that decision.
(They probably did this months ago, but today was the first time I've had reason to try finding something specific. Now impossible.)

Not sure what you were searching for, but I have had no problems. I typically use duckduckgo, my search engine of choice because they claim minimal tracking. But after your description of an issue, I searched for self rising flour (pretty specific). Google search worked just fine.

I was trying to remember the ARM project Microsoft cancelled. 'Microsoft cancelled ARM' would have brought it up quickly with the old verbatim search. Not with the new algorithm. DuckDuckGo has never been as good as the old verbatim search was. I tried it multiple times and gave up on it. Now they all suck.

understood.
sometimes its better than nothing.
Given Microsoft's reach, search results of its activities may be tainted.

My opinion. I have not experienced what you have experienced, but to each his own.

As already mentioned, this seems to be a more personal issue for you.
I still use Google for all my search needs, and if the answer is out there, I will find it. Unlike with Bing or DuckDuckNoGo, where you always end up with more questions than possible answers...

Google search is on a trajectory to irrelevancy that there won’t be a graph steep enough to depict the decline.
I posed your question verbatim to ChatGPT.
What was the ARM project that Microsoft canceled?
Quote: The ARM project that Microsoft canceled was reportedly an effort to develop a version of Windows 10 that would run on ARM-based processors. The project, codenamed "Windows 10 on ARM" or "WoA", was initially announced in December 2016, with the first devices running the operating system released in 2018.
However, in mid-2020, Microsoft confirmed that it was no longer planning to develop new versions of Windows 10 for ARM-based devices, and would instead focus on improving performance and compatibility for the existing version of Windows 10 on ARM. The company did not provide a specific reason for the cancellation of the project, but some reports suggest that it may have been due to poor performance and compatibility issues with certain applications.

ps - 'self-rising flour' is not specific. 'self rising flour himalayas' would be kinda specific. The results aren't very great for that, and now include a lot of non-himalayas results.
|
|
|
|

Sure. But try a search where you want narrow the results to specific terms. Say, something like:
Pixel 6 Pro hardware diagrams
You'll get diagrams for every pixel ever made. Yes, the p6p is in there but if I'm only interested in the p6p why make me wade thru the dreck if I told it to filter it out? It used to work much better - by which I mean - it doesn't work at all now.

Are you talking about the option behind the Tools button? By default, it's "All results". Click on that and you can switch to "Verbatim".
|
|
|
|
|
I've always used verbatim search. Now it doesn't work like it used to, and is quite worthless in comparison to its old behavior.

I see no "tools button" on google search screen Google[^]

Perform a search, .e.g self rising floor
Under the search bar and above the results I see a row of ovals that are filters. Like images, recipes, etc. Scroll that list of filters to the left and on the far right, the last entry will be tools.
You may need to select the "all" filter before it appears.
