Honestly ... there was a time when #google actually returned valuable search results ... not one page 13, on page 1 ... but quite obviously this is mostly a thing of the past ... see screenshot.

I searched for "prediction about future reminder calendar check true" ... and what do I get? Results promoting tracking apps ... sigh.

What I actually wanted: I wanted texts from people who made predictions about the future and make an entry in a calendar to be reminded about their prediction so they can check whether it came true or not ... there must be so many people who've wanted to do that or have done it ... but yeah, their texts are apparently not as relevant to me as some stupid tracking app ... yeah, I get it ... awesome search tech you've got #google ... thank you.

It's just so annoying that I can't just use #google as a full text search engine because of its fucked up commercialized ranking algorithm ... will #yacy ever become widely used?
