So, I have been noticing something odd with google search results the last few weeks. Results are coming back kinda...I don't know... "sterilized", for lack of a better term. When I search for something, I see a pattern of 5-12 stories or info resources that are listed over and over again. Then I noticed that old info, that I know I searched on months prior and read and saw, not even showing up... I don't know.... it's hard to put into words exactly. But it had me puzzled, something seems off.... Then I remembered this....
Google Develops System For Ranking ‘Trustworthiness’ Of Websites
And I think the "machine" is running full force and it makes me wonder what info I am not seeing, what info is being censored from the net. I guess it's time to ditch Google all together and try BING (which seems to be more open anyhow)or even Gogoduck (which I think is still backed by google search indexes, so I don't know if that will even help.)
Is anyone else noticing this, or is it just my google-fu getting weak?

I don't think Bing would really be a good alternative... I guess you can try Duckduckgo

Startpage then? It uses Google but doesn't track you or share your searches with Google.
