[LINK] Google trying to tell me what I want to find ... Grrrr

Ok I'm a bit over Google now.

I search for "mail service" and get e-mail service providers, 
webmail, blah blah blah

I was searching for a brand name the other day and got back anything 
BUT the brand.  In the end, after 20 minutes of frustration, a 
guess.com got me there.

In fact of late, Googles efforts to HELP me find what it thinks I 
want is getting so frustrating it's almost unusable.

I've also found that now goggle is deciding what I'm searching 
for.  I was searching for 'click' the other day with two other 
keywords and it returned 'clicking' and thousands of sites not even 
remotely related to the other keywords.

It's often adding 'ed' or 's' or 'ess' to the end of words, not just 
one work, but several.  If it were just verbs maybe, just maybe it 
could be tolerable, but it's doing it to nouns as well.

Is it just me?  Cause I'm getting ready to forget google as a useful 
engine of any kind.
