I've done searches on Google with 3-4 words and the results given back had excluded all but one word. The "not on page" results are usually pretty infuriating since that's what I am looking for
- ajross 8y agoThose aren't "examples". Can you be specific?
- abritinthebay 8y agoIf you haven’t run into this I submit you don’t use google much. It’s infuriating
- lovich 8y agoIt is impossible for me to give you a search term that will be garunteed to show you this effect. Google tailors every search to each person too much. It ends up feeling like you've been gas lit by Google when you report one situation and no one else can see it
- itcmcgrath 8y agoAdd double quotes around the words, works like the old +word syntax. (I don't work on Search, but use it a lot :))
- nasredin 8y agoQuotes or pluses stopped working a while ago. Even "Verbatim" isn't actually verbatim. I am amused that people are only now realizing just how awful Google has got compared to 2000s.
- itcmcgrath 8y agoThat's simply not true. Quotes superseded pluses and they definitely still work and it's trivial to demonstrate. "mainframe" "kubernetes" vs mainframe kubernetes https://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en&fg=1 https://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en&fg=1
- sudouser 8y agoagree on ‘not on page’ then why are you showing this!? facepalm
