For many searches like that I use 'tools->all results->verbatim'. Seems to help.

  I've been using the verbatim mode by default for a couple years. It does improve the results substantially.

    Interesting, is it any different than putting the query in quotes?
    • notreallyserio 5y ago
      Google may ignore the quotes entirely, although it's not clear when.

    Same here. However, comparing what verbatim mode was before and is now, it has gone much worse. I just want barebones keywords search, with just the caveat to index just the words on the main part of a web page, not the surrounding ads, etc.

    Depends on which experiment you are part of. For long stretches of time Google flat out ignores verbatim operator when I try it.
