/g/ what on earth is happening, I just realized google removed all their "inx" (inurl, intitle, inbody, etc.) operators, they even don't appear in the "Advanced Search" page anymore snd before anyone says is due to too much OSINT queries, I bet people use them for research purposes as myself, nothing worked as best as removing clutter from urls and titles but now is all gone, like wtf, every single time the tech slop manages to make the interner worse and worse, fuck it!Anons, a basic question that I see in this board but I need to know, how do you search the web, that are my options if I need to filter by words in the urls? Do we have an advanced internet search tool? I don't even know anymore, fuck my life
>>109392425unaffiliated research is OSINT, you're an evil hackerman, admit it
>>109392439okay/thread
>>109392425>results I don't want have a common term>use -exclude option>use -"quoted" option>term still in my resultsLike fucking shit google how are you this trash? These are features YOU FUCKING ADVERTISED
>>109392491Yep, my exact thoughts. I don't since when google decided to nuke operators and features again but fuck them.I even feel like an unc (probably am one) because I see that now the "proper" way to search the web is through APIs, problem is they cost money
>Anons, a basic question that I see in this board but I need to know, how do you search the web, that are my options if I need to filter by words in the urls?just use another search engine. Googles result aren't so great anymore than you can't switch away from it. Quite the opposite, actually.
>>109392425This happened years ago.You can actually force the AI to get the picture by putting the operator in the front and back a la:>-bread "toast" -breadnotice how i excluded bread twice? for some reason this works. that said just use startpage; it has google results.
JUST USE THE AI YOU DUMB FUCKS

>>109392691The issue is that google's operators were (not anymore because fuck them) unmatched for specific filtering. I still can use in tandem minus operator + site: + asterisk to remove some TLDs and subdomains which is incredibly useful, done right you could fine niche sites, at least those indexed by google (which btw has the biggest index). The "inurl" operator was specifically useful to remove a common term appearing in the urls lf many enshittified websites and SEO slop, but now is gone, If any other search engine had s url filtering tool I would use it no doubt, problem is none has one
>>109392778>you could fine niche sitesthe same niche sites that google buried under tons of seo trash?sorry just being a dick/joking
>>109392806By removing the common TLDs one can find interesting stuff, from piracy to research/academic stuff, but the point is being missed, the deprecation of the operators is a hard blow, at least for me who relied heavily on them. Even the hyper glazed Kagu doesn't have an url filter which sucks.
>>109392778kagi seems to have the filter, alas its paidhttps://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/search-operators.htmlmarginalia has a small index but at least supports these operators via an api that seems to have a generous free tier. It's probably already in the front end too, but I didn't find any docs about it. Let your clanker check it and if its not user accessible, let him make a small frontend with operators
>another regression is technical innovation*yawn* How tiresome.Basically all major sites have forgotten how to index content chronologically. For large queries, most sites give up after a certain number of results (e.g., Amazon: you get 7 pages, you cannot view additional items). Searches have become so fuzzy as to become unusable. Information for AI is laughably bad if you're looking up anything niche.If you don't already know where everything is on the internet that you need, sorry you're fucked and it's too late for you.
>>109392927That's why I'm asking you anons, the alternatives or solutions, perhaps you have found one?
>>109392944Don't need one, I already know where everything is.
>>109392948thisjust remember 4chan.org/g and reddit.com
>>109392754>AI overview only links to a Reddit or forum postNice thinking, good job. Like that's not what search engines always did.
>>109392425what is evil
>>109392425Use Gemini, Sir.
