New comment by groone in "Google confirms the leaked Search documents are real"

The golden times were 8-10 years ago, where you could change the order of keywords in google search and get more precise matches. Could find pretty much any obscure thing on the internet.

Then could find that article that you remember read 6 months ago by adjusting the keywords until it is on the first page.

Now it does not matter at all what you enter in the search box. No matter the inputs you get one set of results and will never find something specific.
