It's under Tools -> "All results" dropdown for me.
I tried to see if it was possible to bookmark to get a verbatim search directly, and while I couldn't decipher the obfuscated query they seem to be using these days, the overall query length was much shorter than with the original non-verbatim search. I wonder if that has anything to do with the:

claim. The original search had a very long 64 bit encoded parameter, which perhaps had some context information - it seems plausible it had some typing history information (perhaps taken from their Google Docs code), maybe how fast I typed (for error probability), some kind of personally identifying ID about my current session perhaps. Looking at these query strings and how opaque they are, feels a bit creepy that all this information is being sent from my computer without my knowledge or significant control. Makes me glad I rarely use Google these days.
