Yes, it’s changed.
Google was amazing when it first started.
Hundreds of pages of results.
A lot of dross, but nuggets of gold found pages down in the results.
Now it is all manipulated, or curated, or censored, whatever one wants to call it.
"Curated" is the new censored. You nailed it.
Every search on Google I abc, CBS, NPR, NYT, Washington Post .. on and on!
S#!+ search engine for Communists!🤬
You sate, “Yes, it’s changed. Google was amazing when it first started.” I agree. Now I can only thank myself for selecting and creating files beginning some twenty years ago. Google is lost in the present and is practically useless for searches of an historical nature.
