I would say that failure should be very, very low. What I really took issue with here was the relative silence about altering my query. It wouldn't have been half as bad if the note was on the top of the page. I would really prefer it if they just suggested that I may like to try the search without the word and leave it up to me to decide if that's what I want. In any case, these Google fuck-ups are not a rare occassion for me anymore. This morning I was searching for "min cut directed graph" (no quotes). Of the 10 results on the front-page only three were about directed graphs. The rest were about undirected graphs, despite the fact that I explicitly asked for directed graphs. At that point I snapped and continued my search with Yahoo!. Something I expect to do more often when this keeps up. It's really hard to find something if this is the way things work...
