A simple question:
As of recent has Google been doing a good job of returning relevant results to you when you search for something

Thanks for replying folks!!
I follow how the search engines are performing (it's too technical to get into here  ). It's part of my 'job'.
I'd just like to advise all that Google has just upgraded to some new software and it is performing very poorly. I suggest that everyone check out http://www.ask.com/ at least once and compare results. You may be pleasantly suprised!

No, google searches seem to really elaborate recently, i find it really difficult to find exactly what i am looking for.Ask.com is so much easier and the answers relate clearly to my questions.

Ah, is that why it seems I have to wade through so much irrelevant stuff before I find something now? It seemed to do a better job before... I'll check out Ask too. Thanks!

Seems a bit daft to me, why change something that works? I used to swear by google, now i havent even got it in my favourites.

I do affiliate marketing and SEO so I *try* to keep up with whats going on. Google has been taken over by irrelevant results and scraper sites 
I tend to use Yahoo, MSN and Ask now.
