That's not my experience? The quotes still seem to work for me? Do you have a specific example? And / or can you point to said HN post?
- lc5G 3y agoI can confirm the experience that sometimes searches for quoted terms yield pages that do not contain the quoted term exactly. I don't have a specific example from the top of my head.
- izzydata 3y agoIs it possible that the results simply don't exist and instead of giving you nothing it gives the next possible match?
- bromuro 3y agoIt could be this - but you would notice it after opening the search result. I spend some time reading a random website until I realize the sentences i was looking for is not there. Useless and frustrating.
- croisillon 3y agoworks for me too, maybe being in europe does the trick?
