Google's searches are becoming second rate

Linkster, here is what I was searching for:
penis doctors remove

I was writing about guys who stick stupid things in or on their penises, so I wanted to find stories about doctors removing stuff from dicks.

Ideally, I wanted it in the context of a headline: "Doctors remove wedding ring from man's penis"

Yes, I know you're laughing now

Anyway, thanks to the synonyms thing, I kept getting stuff about circumcision, medical journals, all sorts of stuff.

I don't know if Google geo-targets synonym searches but I don't know why they would.

And yes, everyone is right. Google has sucked for quite some time... but I think it's reached the frustration stage where people are gonna look elsewhere.

Well - using your search terms without quotes the first 4 results I get in Google are about Romanian doctors have removed a man's wedding ring from his penis, Ananova: Doctors remove padlock from man's penis, Doctors remove wedding ring from man's penis, and IOL: Doctors remove wedding ring from man's penis so it looks like the result are right up your alley

I tend to think maybe that with the rollout that Google is doing right now of a completely different infrastructure and some recent reports of many sites being afflicted due to a reindexing of everything, Google does give some unusual results for some things - although the traffic is still fantastic and has actually gone up for me - but I would be intotal ecstacy if MSN took over the search market right now - I would triple my traffic overnight
