    It really winds me up how results that match every search term aren’t prioritised any more. I often search for very specific pieces of hardware, and it’s been a nightmare since the late 2010s. You now have to pore over each result to check that it’s 100% what you’re are looking for.

    SEO exacerbates the problem, but I’d say the root cause is the algorithm itself.

      Have you tried putting your search between " " ? It usually helps improve my results.

        That used to work, but these days seems to do little other than sightly change the order of the same useless results.
