I know we've talked about this before but I'm just so disgusted with how useless most search engines are now. They all second guess me.

The most obscure or unusual word is ignored so it's very hard to search for the intersection of a popular thing and an obscure thing.

I have a theory that for many people search has never worked well for them since they just didn't use computers very much, or it was not explained well. Now those of us who found search effective get to see what it was like.

The non-computer people I know don't really think search as gotten worse. The people I know who hate computers the most think it's gotten better... but they are in the minority.

I've always found obscure words powerful in searches. That power has been destroyed. Please don't tell me to put it in quotes or use a different engine... this is a design trend, made worse by "AI" I'm not asking for a solution or work around. I want to know WHY the software I depend on keeps getting worse.
