I liked them well enough, but recently is it just me or it seems like every time I reload a search by simply going back to the page, the ranking of the results immediately changes?
That is supper annoying to me, as now I can't keep track of the results I opened easily
This happens sometimes if you search for a new non-cached search phrase. It'll give you a couple pages, then update it's index and when you go back you're on the updated index.
Interesting, but how come it never did that before? Did I just not notice?
I don't know. I've noticed it happening for the last few months. Maybe they have the ability to update caches faster now and want to give the most fresh results. It can be irritating if you're like me and like to click a result and then go back and open a bunch of results in new tabs.
Sounds plausible yeah, so I haven't gone crazy haha, it really is annoying since usually the new results are also worse than the first batch in my experience. Guess I'll just pick up the habit of opening everything in a new tab from the get go
FWIW I thought the same. Seems like every search engine turns to doo with time.
