    Use something else, Google used to be brilliant at searching the web, now it just provides results to suit whatever narrative is in the news. I read somewhere Reddit is quite good for finding technical info and the advice was to put Reddit at the end of all searches.

    Another very helpful reply!

    This site used to provide real answers/solutions to questions/problems but now it seems that too many users have nothing better to do than throw useless remarks/comments instead.
    Two of us gave you a solution. There are just some things to add that cannot be discussed on here how to get around removing that info.

    Honestly, I don't know what these Sponsored Results are. I use Bing. Bing ius a really good search engine (of course, all search engines used to be much better back then), but I use Bing. It has a point system, and as the points add up, I can donate these points to convert into cash. I do the donations to a prevention of animal abuse company nearby where I am.

    Bing is honestly a good search engine, just as good as google (at the time when I switched). And I'm sure it's even better than google's search engine (doesn't have those ads you're talking about).

    I still use Google Chrome though. This browser is one of the best browsers out there. It may be getting clunky and junky now-a-days, but all my settings/favorites/etc are saved here. I'm not gonna switch to any other browser anytime soon.

    Try Bing. If you like it, then use it instead.

    Sponsored results are from those companies that pay Google/ABC big bucks to put their results at the top.

    Thanks for that brilliant solution!!!

    Disregarding that useless suggestion what is another search engine that can provide the type of search results that Google Adanced Search used to provide please?

    Thanks.
    I really don't care! Google is a Monopoly and if you want to use it be my guest. If Google is so great then ask your questions on Google Search. You can watch this video on YouTube.

    Do you even know what the definition of a monopoly even is? Google/ABC as a company is nowhere even close to that. As a search engine system, yes Google holds the bank on that since they built today's search engine ai that other companies have paid them for that information to be used by them.
