Sometimes I lose track of a bookmark and google a phrase from it verbatim and in quotes. Guess what I get most of the times? Not even a verbatim search spam, just nonsense with almost no original words. It doesn’t even try and I doubt it even has a database where a direct path exists from a phrase to it with a link. Google is not “I found this for you” anymore, it is “I think you meant this”.
- ghxst 2y agoI thought this was just me! Even if I use double quotes to search for a 1:1 phrase I often get bad results and nothing linking back to the source I was looking for. If you happen to remember the site something was on, adding "site:example.com" still produces decent results fortunately.
- ipaddr 2y agoYou have to go into search options and select verbatim. But since they stopped indexing many sites it might not even be there anyways.
