Comment on Now that search engines suck, people will start to bookmark again.
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months agoMost people don’t know advanced googling anymore, even though it largely still works.
As far as people not using bookmarks, they just refuse to close tabs until they’re sure they’ll never return to a given site. People even obsess over tree style tabs and other tab organizing add-ons or features rather than, y’know, using bookmarks with folders which can already handle all of that.

What do you consider advanced googling?
CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
“Advanced” Site:google.com filetype:pdf -“consider” etc etc.
Using targeted operators to refine your search.
Plenty of resources on it by searching “Google operators”
