- IanCal 13y agoYou need to use "verbatim" mode. It's under "Search tools" and then in the dropdown starting with "All results".
- anonymoushn 13y agoThis applies to the whole query, so there's not really any analogue to "foo bar +baz".
- conradfr 13y agoOh so that's what this "verbatim" thing is, I'll look into it thanks.

- thisisnotatest 13y agoI think the only time that Google changes a word in quotes is if the spelling algorithm is very confident. For example, if you searched for [barack obama "autobiolgraphy"], you are going to get results for "autobiography" with the option to really search for "autobiolgraphy". Other than that, I'm pretty sure that a word in "quotes" must appear in the result to be retrieved, without any alternatives. If you have a counter-example, I would love to see it! (I work on that code.)
