> google used to return really relevant results for SO, and it stopped doing so at some point a while ago
I haven't noticed that at all. I also haven't noticed any degradation in the results on Google overall contrarily to what people claim.
What I have noticed though is that every time someone complains about search results and shares the way they search on Google, it becomes obvious that the problem is between the keyboard and the chair and not in Google.
For example my girlfriend always get completely unrelated results when searching. But she searches an unintelligible mess that even a human wouldn't understand.
I’ve been using stackoverflow for 15 years. Search results were fine for at least 10 of those. But yea, I’m sure it’s me and all the other people agreeing search got worse are also dumb like your girlfriend, thanks for the condescending and helpful answer, mr google turfer
