I don’t know what people are expecting of Google. I use it like the Yellow Pages was thirty years ago. I use it to find answers to interesting but ultimately inconsequential questions, like “when is Joe Biden’s birthday?” I crank computer error messages into it.

Google was never good for much else. Generating good content is expensive, so most of it is not on the free Web. Never has been. People are expecting it to provide buying advice, or intelligent counsel for their problems, or wisdom from experts. Google was never good for that.

The last part of what you wrote isn’t what a lot of people are saying. At all. I don’t want any of that. I didn’t see many comments wanting that. Most want proper filtering and other older previously functioning features like more scopes and respecting plus sign, quotes, and so on.
