Yeah, being successful has its problems, as everyone wants to game your search engine, but what has that to do with the changes they made to make their search almost impossible to refine.
Operators are basically useless, they may or may not be respected, I can't select results from discussions like there was before, etc.
So basically google decides what to do with my imput, I have no saying on what I really want, so I have to deal with lots of crap.
I'm really one of those lazy users, and I find myself using other search engines more and more, just because this reasons, and despite their "normal" results being worse than google.
This is specially bad in Spanish. There aren't many alternatives in Spanish and sometimes drives me crazy. To the point that I looked into crawling myself some sites and put some OS search solution on top (I'm poor and It's a lot of work, so I didn't finally).
