If you're like me, you'll have noticed lately that Google has gotten really good at returning results for what it thinks you want. And its ability to guess that is also really good - except where you're looking for something specific and rare. That's where their various algorithms seem to break down, and I frequently find myself muttering curses while nestling everything I've typed in the search bar between quotation marks. This seems particularly to happen in the more highly technical searches I conduct when looking for scientific findings.
Good news! Google responded to this issue by allowing users to search verbatim, rather than filtering by whatever brilliant algorithms work so well during all the other times! See here.
Thanks, Goog. Or as we call you in my home, "El Google" (the "e" is not silent).
