It used to force to search the word exactly as written.
- donretag 10y agoThe plus/+ notation has been removed. You must know surround the term in quotes "word".
- dredmorbius 10y ago"Used to" is the operative phrase. That was among the negative consequences of Google+, as +<term> notation apparently was going to be reserved or repurposed for that somehow, but never was. I've done some large-scale searching where the most relevant detail is how many results are returned, most particularly for a specific domain. (For which, incidentally, there's no handy mechanism to accomplish, so it's <array of terms> * <array of domains>, and multiplicative explosion of searches, plus about a 45s timeout per query to avoid triggering bot defenses by Google.
