  • Google has screwed up yet again

    So I go to do my favourite technical question search method which involves searching just the microsoft.public.access newsgroups and it totally fails. Worked just fine a few days ago. Start at groups.google.com and enter your search term. For example "access books vba" but without the double...

  • Google is becoming even stupider

    I still use the Google Groups Advanced Search even though the group wildcard search is broken. Grudgingly but I still use it despite all the crap that is pulled up in the search. But now that page has lost the date range searching. I can't tell the search to pull in only results from the last year...

  • I can't download Google Earth

  • Google's motto: "Don't be evil" - Hogwash

    I'm very upset with Google's policy of indexing and allowing Google advertising on forum web sites which are "slurping" content from Usenet and Microsoft newsgroup servers. When I go looking for a technical answer on Google's main search page I used to get just web pages. If the...
