I dunno. OP has a point. Should users really have to &quot;include&quot; &quot;exact&quot; &quot;terms&quot; quote marks on every word in a two word search query?<p>But I thought people were right to be annoyed when Google took the plus operator away until they said that most people didn&#x27;t use it, and of the ones who did use it only a third used it correctly. (Something like 1 in 600 searches used it correctly, IIRC).
