Google also disabled hotlinking to images. You can't just click on the thumbnail and get the full resolution. No you have to go on the website and try to find the picture among all the crap you don't care about, which is particularly bad for pinterest.

Not to sound like I'm going up for bat for Google, but you can get around this by right clicking and opening the image in a new tab. It's especially helpful for sites like Printrest and other abominations of web design.

DuckDuckGo does about the same as Bing, although '"sci fi" woman table' seems to help a lot ("sci fi" as a phrase.) Google has become a monstrosity that (to anthropomorphize for convenience of writing) it expends so much effort trying to guess what you mean that it doesn't even listen to what you ask.

(Edit: They are also responsible for ruining the word "android", so let's not forget that!!)

You're a NUC user too? What's your model - I'm running a Skull Canyon, so it's of interest. :)

But just now I tried looking for something I could use for a manip idea I had. So I tried entering the search terms scifi woman table into Google. This is what it came up with.

The first thing you'll notice is that it decided to just change what I was searching for. "sci fi" instead of "scifi" and "women" instead of "woman". And look at the results. I don't see a single result with a woman on a table in a scifi setting. In fact most of the images I see don't look like they have anything to do with scifi.

Now take a look at Bing Image search for the terms scifi woman table.

Bing didn't change my search terms. It's mostly scifi images. And yes, there are scifi images of women on tables.

So how the fuck did Google get this bad? The only reason I don't use Bing is because I simply can't. Using Bing Images makes my little internet computer overheat. Way to go, Microsoft.
Didya notice the image that literally said "Women destroy Scifi?" :lol:

Methinks the SJW's that infest so damn much of the 'Web nowadays SPAWN from Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

As for your PC having conniption fits from Bing, I do believe good ol' Lycos is still around........ :wink:
