But it seems that they’re taking it a bit too far now, hiding valuable data making the results pretty useless. Marissa Mayer, where art thou?<\/p>\n

But where the URI should be in the search result, it instead says “sourceforge.net > Projects” which honestly leads one to think it points to a list of projects on SourceForge rather than the libmhash project. Google needs to either add the complete bread-crumb trail “sourceforge.net > Projects > libmhash” or else keep the full URI visible because it currently stands, the results are confusing and misleading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
