Years ago when I interviewed for a Software Engineer position at Google, the person I was matched to eat lunch with between the interviews was from the Search team.
I asked him these exact questions. He said, the last time he checked, quoting a single word to mark it mandatory worked for him and that he definitely would know if it didn't.
I didn't insist much at the time but I knew he didn't know what he was talking about, and it made me lose hope that this feature would ever come back working like it used to.
- Chriky 9y agoAre you saying the quote-a-single-word thing doesn't work for you?
- timcederman 9y agoDoesn't work consistently for me.
- Baeocystin 9y agoIt has not been a guarantee for several years, now. At best it seems to be a slightly firmer suggestion.
- Chriky 9y agoDo you have some example searches? I believe you, just never seen it myself. Perhaps I switched some obscure setting on years ago.
- Baeocystin 9y agoNone that are guarantees, unfortunately. It's maddeningly inconsistent from day to day. But it isn't that rare, either. I only perform 10~20 searches using the quote feature a day, and I hit a case where it's ignored several times a week.
