Has Google gone mad?

Postby BuddyB » Thu Jun 06, 2019 9:52 am

Or am I losing it? As far as I'm concerned the new procedure sucks! When searching and click on a search file all I get is more search files..and it goes on and one. If I'm fortunate, and it's getting rarer, I have to scroll way down and maybe I'll find a file I'm looking for; that's a maybe. And of course you have all those grubbing apps at the top that require a download of their app before you can do anything. Wow, do I miss the original search procedure. Any suggestions for a better Search Engine? Thanks, and maybe I'm all coo coo over this.

I'm not experiencing any problems with Google Search.
Are you using Chrome? If so, what version?
Can you post a screenshot about the issue?

Sounds like you've got a browser hijacker. They'll redirect you to the type of stuff you describe. Check your browser extensions for anything that doesn't belong there and get rid of it.
Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

Peru I have been using Firefox for years, no problem until recently. Thanks Dave, didn't think to check that out; will do.

Yup, I agree with Dave. Check your default search engine and make sure it is the real Google :)
