Putting quotes around every single word in a google search so that google doesn't randomly ignore most of them (hexbear.net)

This is getting ridiculous.

Also anyone else notice that google now censors most search results about drugs? They give you their fucking suicide hotline as the top result if you mention anything harder than weed. After that, it's all DEA and DOJ webpages, literal DARE shit, actual rehab advertisements, and massively SEO'd rehab related grifts. Good luck getting any Bluelight or Erowid pages to come up without actively searching for them nowadays.

I used to love double quotes because that technique worked so well. Then one day I realized google was getting to be more and more like their Youtube website. Like Youtube - Google was giving me "help" that I in no way wanted. And - of course - google doesn't offer a plain vanilla search option to disable. "Helping" is forced enabled.

is there a way to search youtube videos by date range?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

I don't know but at google you can use before: and/or after:.

kangaroo attack after:2015-01-01 before:2016-01-01

So at google videos you could search for

kangaroo attack after:2015-01-01 before:2016-01-01 site:youtube.com
