Someone recently posted a hot tip about adding "before:2023" to Google web searches and I forget who it was but wow what a huge difference it makes. So thank you to whoever that was. It gets rid of so much AI-generated SEO crap.
This isn’t gonna help me at all… Most of the time, my problem is that I am looking for something hella recent and only getting results from 5 years ago or more. Used to be able to add a month and year but lately it straight up just ignores it (“showing results for [query without the 2024 I added]” bullshit). Forcing it to search a string with quotes doesn’t help either.

I usually do the quotes thing but the same phrase in quotes 3 or 4 times. You have to tell it you *really" mean it
This might sound stupid, but have you tried using after:2024-01-01? That works as well.
Does it help if you use verbatim mode?
