> The ones that praised it tended to be people who were taught or otherwise figured out how to use metadata tags like date:/onsite: , whereas the ones that disparaged it tended to be the folks who would search for things like "who won the game" and then proceed to click every scam/porno link on this green Earth and then blame Google/gdg/lycos/whatever when they were exposed to whatever they clicked.

One big warning here: search engines only became really useful when you could search for "who won the game" and the search engine actually returned the correct thing as the top result.

We're more than a quarter of a century later and probably 99.99% of users don't know about Google's advanced search operators.

This should be a major warning for LLMs. People are people and will do people things.
