So they changed this behavior without telling anyone then? Because before Google search quality went down the drain, quotes meant to search for an exact phrase. If they changed that without any notice, and users continue to perform searches with quotes expecting the legacy behavior, and Google doesn’t bother to even catch that potential confusion and direct them to the new convoluted advanced search flow, then that’s horrible UX. What a horrible loss of ingrained functionality, and a horrible loss of a shorthand for advanced users.
- endisneigh 3y agoyes, at some point it was changed. I disagree with the move, but understand why it was made. the quotes have been made to be more like approximately, than exact. where the words mentioned will appear together in the order specified, but can have certain differences in punctuation.
