I tried your example both with and without quotes and I got Apple Hospitality which seems to be correct.
Humans make so many typos that for the majority of people, autocorrecting is a net win.
- _tnyw 5y agoI wish there was a mode for "do as I ask"
- DeathArrow 5y agoThey have it. It is called verbatim search. Just that it doesn't do what it is supposed to.
- gremIin 5y agoSo they don't have it.
- skinkestek 5y ago> I wish there was a mode for "do as I ask" There is verbatim and back in the day this is also what doublequotes meant. Google has gotten away by blaming it on spam since back when matt_cutts was here, but I fail to see how spam can possibly be the reason why neither doublequotes nor verbatim works (edit:) unless spammers have found their way into Googles ranking algorithm to neuter all exact match operators.
- toyg 5y agoThey should call it sudo. It would be an absolute hit.
- 1_player 5y agoThey had it. The fact it doesn't work anymore is probably because some big brains at Google strongly believe that their AI knows better. Such hubris is the reason why Google sucks today and it absolutely rocked 20 years ago.
- 1_player 5y agoI knew someone would try, which is why I specified this was just an example, I'm sure this time with that made up word it works, but when it doesn't it's pretty obvious and infuriating. And autocorrect is a net loss if you can't correct the autocorrect.
