That's my biggest frustration, when I search for "X Y" and they return me results without "Y" at all, and even call that out in the results.

I wonder if it started because Google favour "fresh" content, and so people keep changing the content of their pages and Google keeps that page even when Y has been removed. Here's MattCutts from 10 years ago saying this is sometimes useful: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=902999#904784 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=902999#904784 > Your "Red Room" query is hard in a couple ways. First, it looks like that root page used to have the words on the page: "The Red Room Doors open 6pm $18 Pre-Booked" And it's also tough because it looks like the name changed to the "2nd Degree Bar & Grill" at some point. The fact that you can type [red room] and get a suggestion for [red room st. lucia] is actually pretty helpful in my book because it leads you to the answer that the name changed.
