I&#8217;m not a hater.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t get me wrong, Google is great, I use their products each and every day and they really have a lot of them. That being said, I just had to make this post to speak my mind about <strong>a few things that Google sucks at<\/strong>. And when I say that they &#8220;suck&#8221; I mean that they are really bad in things you would expect them to be very good. Hey Google, sorry, but it&#8217;s your fault since you do so much so well that people have high expectancy levels about everything you do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On your Android devices you can say &#8220;OK Google&#8221; and the device will listen for voice commands. But, did you know that if you say &#8220;OK Google you suck&#8221; it will ask you to give feedback? I have to admin, that&#8217;s pretty neat.<\/p>\n<p>OK Google, you suck! And here&#8217;s my feedback to you<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: October 2025<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of numbering for these reasons why Google sucks as they are so many. So, some of the recent items will not be numbered anymore. Don&#8217;t think I have something against Google exclusively. I think most big tech companies that get complacent suck: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/other\/facebook-sucks\/\">Facebook sucks too<\/a> and you can read why in my other article.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><strong class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">x.

To help with my SEO struggle, a while back I developed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/php\/serp-checker-php-script\/\">SERP checker tool<\/a>, which I shared for free on my site. This tool allows getting the SERP and rank position for a specific page and query in a specific country. This was using the Google Custom Search API from. Recently, Google announced the discontinuation of the &#8220;Search the entire web&#8221; feature\u2014allowing full internet searches\u2014within the next year, effectively by January 2027\u00a0 Why?

This leads to higher bounce rates and lower engagement, which search engines interpret as signs of low-quality content. Consequently, sites may suffer lower search rankings and reduced organic traffic, creating a vicious cycle where attempts to increase revenue instead hurt both user experience and long-term earnings.<\/p>\n<h2>1.

Google has apparently stated that they rolled out a new update of their search algorithm with the goal of <strong>reducing \u201cunhelpful\u201d content by 40%<\/strong>.

I know that there will probably be a lot of people disagreeing with me and that&#8217;s fine, but I just find that <strong>the old Google logo is so bland<\/strong>. The new Google logo is not that different. Over the years they have modified it slightly by changing the font and going from beveled letters with shadow to the flat design icon today, but still I don&#8217;t see the message that an icon should convey. Kind of unimaginative from a company that is so creative.<\/p>\n<p>Besides my daytime job as a programmer, I&#8217;m also a graphic designer. I don&#8217;t pretend to be the top authority in logo design, but let&#8217;s take a look at this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/google-logo-sucks.gif\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3010 size-full\" src=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/google-logo-sucks.gif\" alt=\"google sucks at logo design\" width=\"707\" height=\"307\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Did you know where the Google name comes from? It comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Googol\">googol<\/a>, which is what mathematicians call the number written as a 1 followed by 100 zeros.<\/p>\n<p>Well, if the logo is a reference to that number with a lot of zeros, I have to ask this:<\/p>\n<p>Why are the &#8220;G&#8221; and the &#8220;e&#8221; in the Google logo not based on perfect circles like the &#8220;o&#8221; is? Why does Google suck so bad at logo design?<\/p>\n<p>I know what you will say: What does this guy know?<\/p>\n<p>But listen, if you think I&#8217;m the only one that though the new Google logo sucks, let me show you something.<\/p>\n<p>Google released their new logo on September 1st, 2015. There was even a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/doodles\/googles-new-logo\">doodle for the new Google logo<\/a>. Now, let&#8217;s take a look at the following graph from Google trends.<\/p>\n<h3>Google Sucks Search Trends<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3014\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3014\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/google-sucks-trends.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3014 size-full\" src=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/google-sucks-trends.jpg\" alt=\"Google Sucks Trends Spike September 2015 When The New Logo Was Released\" width=\"1024\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/google-sucks-trends.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/google-sucks-trends-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/google-sucks-trends-768x346.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3014\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Google Sucks Trends Spike September 2015 When The New Logo Was Released<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There&#8217;s a spike right between August 30 and September 5 2015, when the new logo was released. This shows that people were searching for &#8220;google sucks&#8221; about 100% more times than usual. Coincidence, I don&#8217;t think so.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I feel that Google applications have always suffered from lack of beauty on the UI side.

I&#8217;m not saying that Material Design is the best thing since sliced bread, but <strong>it&#8217;s a huge improvement<\/strong> in the approach that Google showed regarding UI. Material design is the equivalent of\u00a0iOS Human Interface Guidelines and I think it is the missing link that Google needed.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/google-applications.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1816 size-full\" src=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/google-applications.png\" alt=\"why Google sucks at confusing application logos\" width=\"832\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/google-applications.png 832w, https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/google-applications-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/google-applications-768x265.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2>3.

See 10%2b Reasons Why I Think %23GoogleSucks https:\/\/bit.ly\/whygooglesucks %7C via @codingdudecom\">Tweet Reason #2 Why Google Sucks<\/a>\n<p>Why does Google suck at naming their applications? Why do they seem to lack any kind of imagination in that area?<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say that you work for company and you develop an app that sells books. Your boss asks you to think about a name for the app and you come up with the name Books. What would you expect your boss to say. Well, in case of Google apparently somebody said &#8220;Great idea!&#8221; if you look at <strong>Google Books<\/strong>. Well, that kind of sucks, where is the creativity. The same goes for <strong>Google Maps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently\u00a0naming applications at Google is not only lacking creativity, but sometimes things that don&#8217;t make too much sense come up. I asked a friend, which is totally agnostic of smartphone technologies what he things <strong>Google Play<\/strong> is about. First try he said &#8220;A place to download music?&#8221; and then, when I said wrong, he said &#8220;A place where you play\u00a0games?&#8221;. Well though the second attempt was closer to the truth, it still does not make too much sense that the place where you download and install Android applications is called <strong>Google Play<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I will not go on and explain why <strong>Google Drive<\/strong> is also a bit uninspired &#8211; I know it started as a competitor for Dropbox, but now it&#8217;s doing a lot more than you would not expect from your &#8220;online drive&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Google Now<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; I wouldn&#8217;t even know where to start to explain the relationship between\u00a0the name and what the app does.

Google Image Search<\/h2>\n<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"click2tweet\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Google image search sucks and that%27s not all. See 10%2b Reasons Why I Think %23GoogleSucks https:\/\/bit.ly\/whygooglesucks %7C via @codingdudecom\">Tweet Reason #3 Why Google Sucks<\/a>\n<p>I have to admit that technology-wise the image search is quite impressive if you look at the fact that you can actually search similar images by uploading an image directly in the search field. So why did I add the image search as a reason to <strong>why Google sucks<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>Well, first of all image indexing is quite chaotic. For at least the last 7 years people have been complaining about Google&#8217;s inability to stop spammers getting top ranks in the image search results. Maybe I&#8217;m missing something, but <strong>how hard is it to figure out where an image appeared first?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among other websites I&#8217;ve been involved in is PSDDude\u00a0a website that presents <a href=\"\/\/www.psd-dude.com\/\">Photoshop tutorials and resources<\/a> created mostly by me. It&#8217;s a very image-centric website and the content is original. However, though images from my site are indexed and show up in the search results, after only a week or two they are replaced with the results from other websites that use my images (with, but mostly without permission). Either hotlinking (images\u00a0linked to my site directly) or not the result is the same, my images appear in the results but link to the other sites using them. Disappointing, but that&#8217;s the way it is.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing that sucks in Google images is the fact that you have to click several times on the image search results until you get to the actual image. I can imagine that\u00a0Google wants to keep you on their site as long as possible, but come on! Hey Google, do you really want to get to a stage where you iframe photos from websites just to keep us forever on your site? Not nice.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/beautiful-disaster.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1819 size-full\" src=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/beautiful-disaster.png\" alt=\"why google sucks at making suggestions\" width=\"848\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/beautiful-disaster.png 848w, https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/beautiful-disaster-300x71.png 300w, https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/beautiful-disaster-768x181.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2>5.

I have a mobile phone running Android and I also have an Android TV dongle. Both of them have a Google Now widget on the desktop. One morning turned on my TV and on the desktop I got stock market info for\u00a0<strong>Compass Diversified Holdings (CODI)<\/strong>. Just that you know, I&#8217;m not into the financial market in any way.<\/p>\n<p>So, how the heck did I get CODI on my TV and later popping up every day on my mobile? It&#8217;s simple: I remembered trying to reach this site &#8220;coding-dude.com&#8221; by hitting enter too soon after &#8220;codi&#8221;. Did that only once, but that was enough reason for Google to think that I want the stock price every day for CODI.

See 10%2b Reasons Why I Think %23GoogleSucks https:\/\/bit.ly\/whygooglesucks %7C via @codingdudecom\">Tweet Reason #5 Why Google Sucks<\/a>\n<p>I know that site searching\u00a0is Google&#8217;s primary business and their starting point and one might argue that since they are number one they are doing a great job. I partially agree.\u00a0Here&#8217;s \u00a0my arguments to why I say Google search indexing sucks.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve often heard that Google search indexing and search ranking is &#8220;democratic&#8221;. That&#8217;s simply not true. Considering that backlinks from .org, .gov and .edu have greater value than from other domains, and the fact that these links are often obtained via donations and sponsorship is only democratic in the big corporation kind of way. The reality is that it&#8217;s extremely difficult to make it really big on the web today without funding and without ads.<\/p>\n<p>But, that&#8217;s not even half of the reason why I say that Google search sucks. I&#8217;m talking about the\u00a0fact that Google seems to have a hard time to keep pace with spammers. I mean sites ranking higher due to higher quantity and not quality. Websites ripping off content from other websites will always have more content than websites actually producing content. But Google will always move up websites that publishes &#8220;fresh content&#8221; 3 times a day, even though that content is not produced by that site.<\/p>\n<h3>Google Search Engine Is Getting Worse Not Better<\/h3>\n<p>Google updates its algorithms periodically to try and make it as fair as possible for everybody. I realize it&#8217;s not an easy task and that they have made a lot of progress on this line. There is a &#8220;web spam team&#8221; at Google and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/webmasters\/tools\/spamreport\">you can file spam reports<\/a>\u00a0with them, though it&#8217;s my impression that\u00a0the team is fairly small and that they try to\u00a0make it difficult enough to fill in such a report such that they are not swamped with reports.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/hangouts.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1822 size-full\" src=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/hangouts.png\" alt=\"why google hangouts sucks\" width=\"839\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/hangouts.png 839w, https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/hangouts-300x84.png 300w, https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/hangouts-768x216.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>I ran a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/seo\/wordpress-seo-google-ranking-experiment\/\">WordPress SEO experiment<\/a> a while back, doing every known SEO thing right&#8230; the experiment was a total failure.

It&#8217;s true though that the latest versions seem to have improved on battery usage.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing is that signing out from Hangouts is a 3000 XP points quest. You have to search for the &#8220;Sign out&#8221; button somewhere in the settings of the app, and in the last version I think that they&#8217;ve moved it again. Not too great, especially because here&#8217;s what happens for me: I&#8217;m logged in on Hangouts while on the road to &#8220;hangout&#8221; with my boss. That all works great, we can chat if there&#8217;s anything urgent, but then I get in the office and I&#8217;m on my desktop.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I get a chat my desktop blings, my mobile blings. That is very annoying Google. Because you are already telling me that due to traffic I&#8217;m going to be late for work by 5 minutes, wouldn&#8217;t it be a good use of tracking my location and figuring out that I&#8217;m already at the office and not bling-bling my brains out? Or better yet, if I&#8217;m already logged in on my desktop, why would I want my notifications also on my mobile? That just sucks.<\/p>\n<p>Google Talk is no longer available. It was first replaced with Google Duo (another great name) which was later replaced in 2022 with Google Meet &#8211; a feeble attempt to compete with Zoom and MS Teams.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/google-vs-europe.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1823 size-full\" src=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/google-vs-europe.png\" alt=\"why google sucks at fairplay\" width=\"852\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/google-vs-europe.png 852w, https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/google-vs-europe-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/google-vs-europe-768x261.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2>8.

For those of you who are not familiar with version numbering, it&#8217;s just a group of numbers\u00a0tagging a certain software so that you can identify it as to when it was developed.<\/p>\n<p>Usually it&#8217;s 3 groups of numbers separated by a comma indicating the major release number, the minor release number and the patch number. Every time\u00a0the software gets a patch or a new release the respective number is increased.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chromereleases.googleblog.com\/\">What&#8217;s wrong with Google Chrome version numbering?<\/a> Well it&#8217;s plain weird. In my view major releases are about &#8220;major&#8221; changes in the software &#8211; pun intended. The major release at the start of 2016 was\u00a048.\u00a0Half a year later we are at version 54 in beta. Whoooa! That&#8217;s one major release every month!<\/p>\n<p>Hey Google, are all of those actual major releases? If I had a major change in my life every month I would probably go insane. And that&#8217;s not all. It seems that the frequency of major releases is actually increasing. So, we will probably reach a stage where we have one major release a week and then one a day. Well, that will be fun&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And that my friend is why google sucks at managing version number assignment.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/google-privacy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1827 size-full\" src=\"\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/google-privacy.png\" alt=\"why google sucks at managing user privacy\" width=\"846\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/google-privacy.png 846w, https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/google-privacy-300x79.png 300w, https:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/google-privacy-768x203.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 846px) 100vw, 846px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2>10.

At 12.25pm, the company published an update, saying<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019re aware of a problem \u2026 affecting a majority of users.

Google Filter Search<\/h2>\n<p>You probably never realized this, because you use it so often. Under the search bar you have the quick Google filter search tabs. It&#8217;s a way to only search results within a specific type of content. This is sometimes referred to as &#8220;term by method&#8221; and in the Google search URL parameters you will find this as the parameter <code>tbm<\/code>. This parameter can be one of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All &#8211; tbm missing; this is the default filter, searching all types of results<\/li>\n<li>Applications: tbm=app the search is done within applications only<\/li>\n<li>Blogs: tbm=blg used for searching blogs<\/li>\n<li>Books: tbm=bks will search in Google Books<\/li>\n<li>Discussions: tbm=dsc will only search within discussions<\/li>\n<li>Images: tbm=isch does an image search<\/li>\n<li>News: tbm=nws searches within Google News<\/li>\n<li>Patents: tbm=pts search within patents<\/li>\n<li>Places: tbm=plcs search for places<\/li>\n<li>Recipes: tbm=rcp does a recipe search<\/li>\n<li>Shopping: tbm=shop searches for shopping products<\/li>\n<li>Video: tbm=vid searches a video<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is all great, so why would I say that Google sucks? Well, these search filters are great, the only problem is that Google will not list them all and in the same order. 90% of the times, the order will be &#8220;All, Images, News, Videos&#8221; and this creates a so called &#8220;muscle memory&#8221;. This means that most times, users search for a result, then click on Images for example to look at the results.<\/p>\n<p>Google knows this very well. Because they know this, they sometimes change the order and instead of images you will get Shopping for example.<\/p>\n<p>Do not think this is by accident. Do not think this is only to &#8220;improve&#8221; user experience. This is a conversion &#8220;trick&#8221;. They want to push users towards buying.<\/p>\n<h2>18.

Starting July 2021 email subscriptions for the service will not work anymore, killing a huge part of the product&#8217;s usefulness.
