I work for Google Search. And no, we won't. Moreover, the form doesn't require anyone to be logged into to file a request.

I work from Google Search. Hope this helps clarify... There's a lot of personal info we'll remove such as images of minors, involuntary fake pornography and other issues as outlined here: https://support.google.com&#x2F

Snippets we show tend to focus on full-sentences or enough context to describe what a page is about or relevant to a search. If we have a match that's strongest simply because a quoted term appears in ALT text or some obscure menu item

Thanks for the additional information. It really helps understanding the situation. Showing results for non-quoted words isn't intended to be condescending nor an indication that we think someone made a mistake. Apologies that it comes

Punctuation matters. I explained this in another response, and I should have mentioned it as part of my response here. But to repeat, these are typical reasons why it might seem that quoted search isn't matching when it is: 1) text app

I'm pretty familiar with how the + operator used to work and why Google dropped it, having written about it at the time it happened (spoiler, I wasn't happy it was dropped): https://searchengineland.com/google-suns

Verbatim mode means we search for exactly the terms you put into the box. Quoting terms means we search for exactly the quoted terms. That's what I meant by them being them same. So if you did this search in verbatim: [search for this]

As for the quoting, it should work. And if you have an example where it's not, please let me know. Quoting is designed to exact match. It shouldn't produce synonym matches, correct misspellings, find content that's not on the

I'm not trying to gaslight anyone. And what would be the point? To say something works if it demonstrably doesn't work? Yes, I tried this for some of the presets before I replied. It worked. It still works. My sincere apologies fo

That doesn't mean the quoted words weren't present in the content. It just means our system didn't think creating a snippet around those words was the most relevant snippet. Which I get, in some cases, actually would be bette

On mobile and desktop, I'm getting a message saying that when you search for ["kitchen boss" "g320" "disassembly"] that we have no results. And there's not much we can do if there are no pages we find

It's not really an open invite thing. And it's definitely not that rating is done for direct ranking purposes. These explain more about the process: https://www.google.com/search/howsearchworks/mission&#x

I agree, it would be easier if it were in the snippet. That's something we're looking at. I believe it used to, but sometimes the quoted part might not have been the best overall snippet to use. But as said, we might revisit that.

Yes. And thank you for spotting.

I'm the Google Rep, and there were two more parts to my reply which explain this: Here's why people often think quoting with Google doesn't work when it really does (I've looked a huge number of these reports). 1) We ma

Yes, there's a particular bug that sometimes happens on mobile with some queries. It's relatively recent; we're aware and working to resolve it, because site: really should only show content from the indicated site.

Glad to hear that works! Search has teams around the world. I'd suggest if you see something relevant, apply even if it's in a particular location. Remote work has changed a lot things.

We haven't changed anything. Promise. Honest. Not at all. But we definitely want to look into any cases where people feel this isn't working, so actual examples (if people are comfortable sharing) will really help. What you'r

You should be able to. I can. Tools, then change All results to Verbatim. Then change Any Time to one of the presets of custom range. Or just quote the words in regular mode then use our before/after commands: https://twitte

I would love if you or anyone who ever has this happen can share an example, if you're comfortable doing so. We'll debug. But if you quote something, we shouldn't show anything but that which matches the quoted material. Now,

Fortunately, most of those web results give a pretty good rundown on the history of Linux. But yes, this is weird! I'll get it looked at.

I work for Google Search, and as I shared elsewhere, quoting still works. It really does. If you or anyone finds an example where you believe it doesn't, please let me know, and we'll debug. Typically the reasons people believe it

I work for Google Search. We have several ways for you to do this. The easies is to put quotes around a word or a phrase that you absolutely, positively want to be present in content retrieved. And yes -- it still works. It really really do

I work for Google Search -- we never operated like this. We don't know that someone is somehow a "newbie" vs and "advanced" searcher and change (nor did change) the results somehow.

I work for Google Search. If you put a word or a phrase in quotes, we will only find things that have that exact word or phrase. Nothing has changed in this. When it happens that people feel it fails, it's often that they don't re

Look, Google can easily say they like Mozilla, want to fund it with a $100 million per year and that they want to back their stated goal of protecting user choice by saying they do NOT want to be the default but rather one of several choice
