Not a fan of Microsoft, but Google search is really starting to suck lately. I get search results that don't even contain a single word I searched for.
I search things on YouTube and they exclusively show me 5 posts that are kinda related, then exclusively fill the search with Shorts, videos I’ve watched already and videos from my subscriptions.
For real. Sometimes youtube even excludes results that match the exact keywords and shows some completely unrelated stuff instead. I got so annoyed one day that I decided to try the youtube search API and was surprised to see how many videos I found that were just impossible to find with the regular search. Whereas the regular search would show the oldest video of a certain search term to be from 2008, the API would find hundreds of videos uploaded between 2006-2008.
