Okay. They all suck. I want a list of websites that are likely to refer to my search query. Google is terrible at understanding my intent and even more terrible at displaying information in such a way as to facilitate my task.

As an example: I was searching for an item to purchase earlier. It's a very particular design; I already know that it's going to send me a bunch of slightly-wrong knockoffs. The first thing I want to see is all of the images that are labeled like my query, as many as possible at once, so that I can pick through them. Instead, it shows me the shopping UI, which fills the screen with pricing and other information for a bunch of things that I'm definitely not going to buy, because they're not what I'm looking for. Old Google would have had the images tab in a predictable place; I'd be on it without even thinking. Now? Yet another frustrating micro-experience with Nu-gle.
