Not just that. I think one of the biggest issues Google has had recently is that they're trying too hard to guess what their users 'might' want instead of what they actually want.
Try and search anything even remotely technical or specific. Google brings back a few thousand irrelevant results, often with stuff like 'not found: word you were actually after' underneath in grey. Sometimes even when you do add quotes or speech marks around the term.
A better Google would be one that doesn't assume people want 'any old possible answer' and tries to answer specific queries as easily as general ones.
