What happened to Google? I used to adore this search engine. But I'm a little sick of my search results being filled with sites developed on geocities 12 years ago with no useful information and a bajillion text links acquired through link exchanges over the past decade.
Exhibit A: Search on 'cats': http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLG%2CGGLG%3A2005-26%2CGGLG%3Aen&q=cats
Site #2 in the search results: http://www.fanciers.com/
This sucks. You can find this happening with almost any search term.
STARTING my searches on wikipedia is a much better use of my time. And if I'm looking for products and stuff I go to yahoo. Otherwise, I'll be wasting my time sifting through useless sites. It's unfortunate. This once great search engine has forgotten its roots and has not responded well to the recent explosion in content.
