That is the opposite of my experience. I used to be able to skip, say, 5 or 8 pages of results to ignore the automated botsites and mainstream nonsense on some searches and get less popular but in some contexts more helpful results. Now I'm stuck with torturing my mouse wheel or use some specialist search engine like https://millionshort.com/. Especially since "-" and "+" don't seem to work reliably anymore.

Yes! I love !wa for time zone conversions that understand most appointments copied from somewhere
