I used to be good at googling information I needed. Then Google changed what googling does.

    Try to find a big rig truck wash near your location on Google maps. I cannot. Only 57 million car washes and no way to filter them out.

    Edit: lo and behold: “big rig truck wash” is the magic phrase it turns out. “Truck wash”, “Semi truck wash”, “semi truck wash -car” don’t work but “big rig truck wash” does.

    Fuck you Google, you waste my time.

    Don't use Google. DDG works with keyword searches and you get exactly what you expect.

    I do use DDG as my default. I was using "googling" for the sake of making a witty remark. Even so, the results are usually comparable - the first couple dozen results are mostly AI/SEO slop.
