Not even this is sufficient any more. They now have a "verbatim" search, but I think even then some terms can be ignored -- terms which are not conventional "stopwords" like the.


Yes, verbatim is distinctly broken sometimes.

edit: It's not tedious for me on my browser, just click Verbatim on the LHS of page. (Can select that or All results)


I don't see that on the LHS. It would be nice if there's a link to it, something like https://www.google.com.au/search?verbatim=true that I could bookmark. Edit: or somehow set as the browser's default search engine.



Nice. Did you discover that (gleaned from url) or is it some documentation?


From the url, I don't think they have a documentation :)


Maybe "verbatim" is the same as putting quotes around every word. The verbatim search seems a bit tedious to activate: search for something, press "Tools", then "All results" and pick "Verbatim" in the drop-down. Although once activated, it stays activated for subsequent searches.
