It infuriates me that exact match searches don't work anymore. I understand that for the average person/average query, the modern google results are better (with info boxes, AI type stuff going on), but please let me type in "I want this exact phrase, including punctuation!". I don't even care if it tells me there's nothing found and then makes some suggestions below that.

Google has restored 'verbatim' search, as a drop-down beneath "all results." If you'd prefer to add it to a bookmarklet, the URL parameter is tbs=li:1.
