I live on my computer, if I see or hear something interesting I usually know a lot about the subject in minutes and google has always been my first choice for info. The point is I'm sorry to see what use to be the best searchengine on the web become useless as a research tool.

My thoughts exactly... Google might have ripped away semi-informative pages compared to some other big resources, however, in doing so they ripped their whole search to pieces. It is not about my sites being a top, it is about quality of results per query. If you people can't see the fact that the search results after this update are a lot poorer than before, you are blind.

Google is no longer a viable source for information. Its results are not precise, and my searching time on any given subject just tripled if not more with this last update.

Try it. Go to Google and do a search then go to All the Web and do a search, you will see that All the Web just became the most precise engine in the world in relation to DB size, all thanks to Google.

I call it shooting yourself in the foot.
