Google search now does this. The only way now to search Google for the actual terms you want matched is to put them all in double-quotes. Otherwise Google will ignore terms you provided even in the first result in order to show you some SEO-optimized content that matches synonyms or fewer terms.
- b112 3y agoUse "verbatim", under search tools. It forces precise word matching, so Robert doesn't match Bob and Ubuntu doesn't match Debian, for example. Google is utterly useless without verbatim. Recently, some asshat at Google munged things up. When I do verbatim searches, I have to do -hotel, otherwise I get ridiculous local hotels. Search for Debian, get pages of hotel advertising... makes perfect sense.
