In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened.

My browser is configured against tracking and fingerprinting (in fact all my devices are) which would make it fairly difficult to retain any data unless they are profiling me.

    It might be blindly searching for websites that contain any of the words scan, mark 2, pro.

    It seems to do that when it can’t find a page with all of the words, and the only way I know to fix it is put the whole thing in quotation marks.
