Explicit queries need to be explicit. I'm pretty sure I've had queries where no combination of quotes/plus signs/etc. will convince Google to not "helpfully" expand to near matches or break out phrases, clobbering anything I was looking for in noise.
I wonder if it would make sense to have a few "intent disambiguation" radio buttons to pre-prioritize results. Something like this:
"Purchasing Intent" => comparison shopping sites, retailers
"Informational Intent" => Product info pages, review sites
"Support Intent" => Forums, blog posts, and Stack Overflow sort of sites
