Not getting results back is GOOD!

That's meaningful feedback that my search needs to be improved.

Getting all spam back is actually ALSO GOOD! I can visually distinguish spam pretty quickly, and it's also meaningful feedback that my search needs to be improved.

Removing my ability to search for exact phrases is fucking BAD! I'd much rather get spam or nothing when I search for a directly quoted phrase, rather than google just start returning bullshit.

The problem is that the bullshit google returns is actually very hard to visually parse out - they're real sites that get lots of views, those views are just ENTIRELY unrelated to what I'm actually searching for. That's really hard to filter out quickly.
