Google has also disabled some of the search operators that made refining results more useful.

Like I don't think the minus operator to exclude a search term works anymore.

Which is the most important one for me. It's also really useful for filtering SEO crap that has 50,000 keywords attached to every page.

It really breaks when you're using it multiple times in a string or combining it with other operators.
