I began to notice some time ago that Google basically disregards my query, and fixates on the lowest common denominator. So, recently I was trying to search for a particular event or quote or something related to some famous person. But no matter how I worded the query, Google ignored everything but the person's name, and returned only fluffy flattering results about the person from popular magazine sites.

So I tried Bing, and the thing I was looking for was result #1. Like how it used to be with Google. So I switched to Bing.

Now after a few weeks of that, I see that Bing does the exact same thing much of the time. Totally different queries + same general subject = identical top ten results.

So. Anyone fancy creating the 2022 version of what Google was in 1998?
