Why not give a few examples?

Google is now totally useless for any error message from popular software. I was getting an esoteric error from nginx; pasting the long error in quotes to google gave a full page of irrelevant ads with no organic results. DDG and Bing both had a forum post from Igor himself explaining the error as the first hit.

This sort of highly targeted search used to work so well in GOOG and now it doesn’t work at all and hasn’t for a while. I moved to DDG a year ago and never even seem to use !g.
