SEO is ruining the internet. Give me results for a search, let me choose the sort order optionally. Bring back Boolean operators, or at least make AND and OR work again.
I feel like shitty sites getting too good at SEO has largely made google useless. That's why you had to append "Reddit" to get any useful info that wasn't from some SEO scamsite.
I'd settle with making "verbatim" search the default without having to switch to it every time.
