My experience isn't too different, but keep in mind that probably none of us here are close to the typical Google user as far as their typical expectations and how well those expectations are being met by their searches. (Most of us probably never click on Google's ads either, even though they somehow continue to earn Google millions of dollars. Not saying Google isn't becoming more irrelevant to average users, but our experiences don't necessarily give us a healthy perspective on that.)
