Google doesn’t even treat the quotes as a requirement anymore, just as a suggestion.
I was searching for something the other day, such as ‘blah blah text’. Google asked if I wanted results that must contain ‘text’ so I clicked on it and it changed to ‘blah blah “text”’.
The results were exactly the same. Except now the suggestion asked if the results must contain “text”. So I blocked that. And now the search was for ‘blah blah ““text””’

Google search is so shit now. Yes I know the add “Reddit” hack and I’m pragmatic about that. But are there any real search alternatives yet?
You’d think a proper non gamed search engine would know that a Reddit result is better than an SEO spam blog.
Yeah but… that seo spam blog 90.99% of the time will have some Google adsense ads.
This hurts me on a spiritual level
