Google did a change that went unnoticed by the majority of us. Fortunately there is a way to get more accurate results than what you currently get with this option being turned off by default: Click on the Tools button and change from All Results to Verbatim; now you should get better results than before; it's not a panacea, but still it's better than what you get by default I'm afraid.
