Google's "category" headers in Site Search results

[super70s]

I have Google Site Search on my site, for some reason they have the "category" header wrong on about 95% of the search results -- instead of the correct category or at least the correct name of the page centered over the results they usually have one of the (more popular, I guess) category headers on my site over them. Is there anything that can be done about this? If they can't get those category headers right I don't know why they bother to put them there to begin with. It just looks ridiculous.

Are you using a wordpress website? Very strange that they get your category wrong when they get the information from your own website. Did you double check your settings for those pages?

No I hate WP as a matter of fact (even though one of my other sites is WP). This is my 27-year-old flagship site done in straight HTML with over a couple of thousand pages, nothing complicated on them. It would be a Herculean task to manually correct each header even if there was some way I could do it.

I have Google Site Search on my site

If you continue to have issues try DDG's site search, I've used it for several years with no problem.

Thanks I will definitely look into that, I use DDG for general searching on my older computer (StartPage won't even load on that one anymore). I think decades ago I used to use something called PicoSearch for internal searching but I eventually followed the herd and started using Google's.
