I’ve always felt that since that time they’ve been searching the wrong things. Search has gotten worse. It’s been better for finding items I want to buy, but complete dogshit for everything else. I don’t particularly buy that seo’s got a sudden unexplained boost at that time.

I don’t know, the article (despite the inaccuracies) really felt like it explained everything nicely. So the article might be wrong but…. There’s still something there Google isn’t telling us. I kinda wonder if it’s true despite the lack of evidence.

Wait quotes no longer work?

It’s not that they don’t work entirely, they just started “fuzzing “ them like normal search.

They’re no longer a hard explicit.

Stop the insanity, there is no need to drive into conspiracies.

Ehhhh, only a small amount is assumed. The rest is fact. And I’m fairly upfront about it.
