Just done 4 searches and got the exact same results regardless of "before:2023"

It's because these are two idiots trying to sound smart. I have used pre-2015 searches, because sometime between 2009-2016 is when SEO in general started being used. The AI generation just kicked it into high gear. Stuff before 2015 at least appears to offer information that isn't just reworded lists of advertisements.

Yeah, tried it when this first got mentioned. Doesn’t do squat.

I imagine google have changed the settings.

I also note Duckduck doesnt give great results these days either.

I find DDG still provides more reliably useful results than google, but not by much.
