Google search works now? Did they fix it?

While this data shows what factors Google Search might take into consideration when ordering Search results, it does not reveal what the importance/”weight” of each factor is to the final ranking.

Well, phew.

we absolutely couldn't now run a few experiments and estimate the weights from them. No that's some sorcery.

Guess I'll just not use it, it's kind of already ruined with their AI bullshit anyhow.
