OT Excluding Google in search results?

[Clifford Heath]

Have you tried adding the search term -google.com?

That should be -site:google.com

I am not too concerned about tracking but lately Google has produced way
too many results that appear to be more commercially motivated. Maybe
that seach engine has run its course, at least for me. It was good while
it lasted but now I've pretty much abandoned it.

What I still use it for is maps. But I found that the print-out has
become mediocre. Can't see streets well anymore, the two lines don't
print right. If anyone knows a better map search engine that would be nice.

There is still MapQuest. Not as handy, but works ok.

Tried that, and some others, too. None produces maps that are as
readable as they used to be. Too fuzzy, and that ain't my eyes

So I resorted to a true and tried method. There's a pouch behind the
seats in my car, with good old maps in there. But I found I'll need new
maps for many areas. Hopefully one can still buy maps.
