This drives me crazy - and it happens far too often!
Even worse, Google sometimes shows results that don't even contain text you've specified an exact match for with double quotes, e.g. "find me"
- gatherhunterer 7y agoDuckDuckGo for search results, Google for “Google Search” results.
- xorcist 7y agoThis is a misfeature that Google started using some years ago. There is a tab-style link directly below the search box called "Tools" in the search results page. Once clicked it displays a few settings and one of them can be set to "Verbatim". Choose that and your search terms will actually be what is searched for, as opposed to some arbitrary subset of it. I wish this was better documented.
