This seems like the tiniest of tiny improvements in a tiny aspect of Google Search.
Am I missing something?
How did this become the #1 story on HN?
- judge2020 4y agoIt's top HN because HN commonly sees complaints about quotes in Google Search not performing correctly; i'd link to some of these complaints, but the algolia search is needlessly fuzzy and doesn't seem to include all comments on HN.
- zerocrates 4y agoI hope you appreciated the irony.
- robbrown451 4y agoSomething like that is about as key to using the web as anything. I've used quotes on searches to get an exact phrase since, what, 1995? The fact that has been broken for a long time and now fixed is absolutely worth top story of the day to me.
- CameronNemo 4y agoI think developers and technologists use this feature often to locate people experiencing the same technical issues. Don't know what an error means? Google it. With quotes.
- wraptile 4y agoIt really shows how frustrated google search users are when a minor improvement is celebrated to this extent.
