Even if your work is not related to the search and verification of information, you probably noticed that the search results in large search engines are becoming less satisfactory. Unfortunately, this is true. We tell you how to improve the quality and speed of the search in Google.
What's happening
Google, Yandex, Bing - over the past five years, all these search engines began to cope with tasks worse. For this there is internal The reasons are algorithmization and commercial interest of technology giants, and external ones are legislative (in particular, this is due to laws On the protection of personal data). The tools that journalists and researchers have used for years stop working, and neural networks distort the search results based on the user behavior. Separately, it is worth noting Google - useful for finding a solution that were closed by the company are calculated by dozens.
Not to mention the fact that since 2024 you have only 300 results in the search even for those requests for which there are thousands and tens of thousands of pages on the Internet. At the same time, the algorithm with some non -equal probability will give you three different results for the same request made from Kazakhstan, Montenegro or Germany or from different devices (for example, from a smartphone or tablet). And it’s good if the information on the links on the first page of the issuance will not contradict each other. So, in response to the request “What book is the most sunk in the world” someone will receive in the second or even first place a link to The article "Checked", while a person with another device or in another region sees a beautifully designed block with a false statement that this is the Bible, and there will be no links to the analysis of “checked” on the first page at all.
What to do
One of the solutions of the current problem, surprisingly, was created back in 2008 - this programmable search for Google. The so -called Custom Search Engines (CSE) are your own search machines, configured for specific global or local tasks. For example, with some regularity, you need to verify the official statistics of several countries. Instead of looking for on each site separately, you can configure a search engine that will only contact these sites and sort the results obtained by countries, relevance and date.
Another example: search for social networks and portals on which a large number of Russian -speaking users are registered. We determine the list of resources, add them in accordance with the rules to the new search engine and at the output we get a satisfying engine request.
Integrated into the CSE web page to search for Telegram is on the Intelligence-X website, and the search service for Yellow Pages and White Pages of different countries Phone Book of the World Completely built on programmable machines from Google.
GitHub has an updated by the author of this leadership list of hand -tested CSE For many cases of life: from a search for social media Iran to open files and folders on Google Drive. For example, in the list there is a configured “tested” CSE to search for facts in Russian. If you doubt the reliability of any information, perhaps it has already come in the field of view of facts. Try to look for keywords or phrase In this car.
Even the easiest CSE without regional and language settings will allow you to circumvent the restriction of 300 results for a request. And setting up its own search engine will take from an experienced user who understands what exactly and where he wants to find, no more than 20 minutes.
