I hate that almost every search stopped supporting quotation marks around a word or phrase to match it exactly. There are so many times that I know exactly what I'm looking for but it keeps trying to show me unrelated bullshit. The loss of booleans and advanced filtering is a whole other issue.

I had no idea what "Google dorking" was until i heard the term in a Benn Jordan video a few weeks ago... which is funny because I've been doing it for years and it barely works now.

I used to have a black belt in Google fu when advanced filtering was a thing. I'm convinced it's to keep people from filtering out spam.
