Not ignoring the deliberate use of verbatim operators (text in quotes), and delivering verbatim results, just as they were doing a decade ago, would be a fantastic improvement. I've found this problem in every search engine, and it's infuriating. Quick example:
"A+Z" becomes "A-Z":
https://www.google.com/search?q="A%2BZ" https://www.google.com/search?q="A%2BZ"
"(dog)" becomes "dog"
https://search.yahoo.com/search?p="(dog)" https://search.yahoo.com/search?p="(dog)"
https://www.google.com/search?&q="(dog)" https://www.google.com/search?&q="(dog)"
https://www.bing.com/search?q="(dog)" https://www.bing.com/search?q="(dog)"
https://yandex.com/search/?text="(dog)" https://yandex.com/search/?text="(dog)"
https://kagi.com/search?q=%22%28dog%29%22 https://kagi.com/search?q=%22%28dog%29%22
