Google is no longer producing high quality search results in a significant number of important categories. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

It's designed to return information that reflects paid commercial interests instead of factual results. **@ujevicigor** · 3 upvotes > If you know how to google, then every result you get will be what you have expected. **@duplicated** · 2 upvotes > Funny how I've been using the query + "reddit" for quite a long time before coming across this article, although I think it's a natural next step when you're getting too many noises from generic keyword searches. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#google](https://daily.dev/tags/google), [#seo](https://daily.dev/tags/seo) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/google-search-is-dying-rrp9wxjuh) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Google Search Is Dying","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-search-is-dying-rrp9wxjuh","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-search-is-dying-rrp9wxjuh"},"datePublished":"2022-02-15T16:50:05.470Z","dateModified":"2022-02-15T16:50:05.475Z","description":"Reddit is currently the most popular search engine.
