I think that some of this reaction is just resistance to &#x27;relearning&#x27; how to search.  Whereas before you developed techniques to make your queries more &#x27;computer like&#x27;, now you can revert to something more like natural language.<p>It would still be nice to have an &#x27;advanced&#x27; search mode that was more strict, allowed advanced features, and still took advantage of Google&#x27;s talent and infrastructure.
