Google has changed from enormously valuable search tool to a useless
piece of crap.

Its still there, search groups groups.

Google has made a mess by google spam.
Google spams.

They are currently trying new things on the groups engine
and its a mess. I intend to switch ASAP

I also do not like the image search scripting, and try to
go Elmer Fudd or basic. Google was the first to use multiple data
type searching which was wonderfull, search web, images, video,
groups.

Except Google like to call forums into the usenet category.
