> Its obsession with guessing synonyms (and ignoring your efforts to tell it to knock it off) is a major handicap I know people say it still doesn't work, but

  It works some of the time for me, but there are frequently cases where I put the word in quotes and Google just pretends I didn't. It can be really egregious, too: I've searched for `foo` and had it say `Showing results for bar. Search for "foo" instead?` Then I follow the link that it provided and it still is searching for `bar` with the same prompt to refine the search, even though the double quotes are clearly still present.

    I can concur. Just yesterday I was searching for something specific and thought I was sleep deprived or just generally losing awareness because I could swear I typed a very specific name in, only for it to show up in Google's search results (not the search bar) missing the last letter with no "Did you mean ---?" or "Searching for ---. Look only for |||?". I tried it again, and it did the same thing. I switched from Google to Google Image Search and watched it in real time delete that last letter from the search bar where I'd typed the term in. I went to show an acquaintance immediately after, only for the behaviour not to repeat itself. It made me feel like I was going crazy.
