Lately, when I search on Google, often it is sloppy and searches for things which partly match what I’m looking for, which means worthless answers. Or, it will say there are NO results. It is currently very frustrating.

Google used to allow logical operators and actually obeyed them (AND, OR, “”)

I do not know HOW MANY times I asked for an explicit search, and Google (and most other search engines) would come back with, DID YOU MEAN (some common term) and 10,000 irrelevant hints. If I make a typo, I am humble enough to retype my request correctly. Usually I type what I type BECAUSE it is uncommon.
