Yes, yes, yes.  I have been meaning to write this very blog post for <i>years</i> with examples just like this.<p>There is not <i>a single day</i> that goes by that I am not searching for something specific and particular in google and am treated to pages and pages of search results that are missing at least one of the terms, thus rendering the results useless.<p>The worst part is, the strikethrough &quot;missing: search term&quot; identifier does not always appear, and you click through to a page that is useless without knowing it.<p>My habit has become to immediately ctrl-f on the resulting page and look for my terms so I don&#x27;t waste my time.<p>Further problems:<p>- &quot;allinsite:&quot; is just a toss-up whether it is respected or not.  Who knows why, but it does not fix this problem.<p>- &quot;quoted strings&quot;, such as for programming or naming conventions, are completely ignored and are useless.<p>- there is no &quot;not&quot; operator, which is desperately needed.[1]<p>The only function that actually works as advertised is the site: prefix which limits searches to that particular website.  I won&#x27;t be surprised when they break this too, because it&#x27;s not producing enough search-result-revenue.<p>I am not a teenaged kid searching for Justin Bieber and perfectly happy with whatever &quot;relevant&quot; or &quot;related&quot; results pop up.  I am a professional.  I am an engineer.  I need tools that work, and google is shit as a search engine.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;websearch&#x2F;answer&#x2F;2466433?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;websearch&#x2F;answer&#x2F;2466433?hl=en</a>
