How many of those search modifiers still work with Google, and does it give the parsing he expects? I haven't seen anyone do a search like that in a decade. I notice that removing the plus gives the exact same SERPs for example.
- bsirkia 13y agoI still do it, though you might be right that it's deprecated and just doing "rideshare carpool service startup app" would be the exact same. EDIT: Just tried it, and it does return different results. The search modifier OR seems to work, but the + might not be doing much. I definitely find the search with the modifiers to return more relevant results.
- charleslmunger 13y agoPutting a single word in quotes is the same as using a plus used to be. +searchterm has been replaced by "searchterm"
