    Fix Google Advanced Search now useless due to sponsored results please


    Windows 10 Pro x64 22H2 Build 19045-2546

    Is there a permanent way to stop or get rid of the sponsored results in Google Advanced Search please?

    These sponsored results have completely destroyed this Search because I find it vertually impossible to find REAL technical results when searching because all of the results are from sponsoring companies selling their software/hardware!!

    Naturally I have tried searching Google for a solution but anything they suggest does nothing!!

    If there is no way to completely eliminating the sponsored results then is there another good search engine that could be used particularly from a support person's view?

    Thanks in advance.

    ...I remember when I used to use quotes "to search for an exact quote like this" as an example in a search engine.

    Nowadays, search engines don't show the results for .. that exact quote anymore; instead, they give me results that have nothing to do with that quote.

    I wish technology can go back to the way it used to be, instead of ... non-sensical stuff that has nothing to do with anything =(


    Life is getting more inconvenient for me.. lol, who knows though.
    People sometimes like to check things out, but also I've been thinking of ...checking out... things as well. You know, check out some cool new things and stuff. Would be nice to check out a new search engine which is programmed like the mid-2000s to early 2010s style of programming.

    Go on DuckDuckGo and search for: "Google getting sued by DOJ"

    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.
