No, they most certainly broke it. Instead of just searching for what you type in, it now "interprets" your query and the interpretation is always whatever has more ads. If you switch to Verbatim mode, the results are noticeably better.

You can switch to verbatim mode?

Tools -> dropdown "All results" and select "Verbatim"
