What Google also loves to do is to show you results with a one term striked-out. The striked-out term happens to filter results the most so it's the most important one. Google decides to serve you more popular (and useless) search results.

There is the Verbatim search option for Google text search, which keeps me sane, but frustratingly there is no equivalent for Google Image search.
Quite often I'll search for an image of, say, a specific aircraft registration and be shown lots of other aeroplanes of the same type. Very clever, Google, but useless.

Unfortunately if you use verbatim you can't filter by date.
That has been quite frustrating sometimes.

They (Google) have a feature built-in to the search engine so that if you put all the terms you want to absolutely see in quotes, for example: "tomato seeds grow", it won't return results without any of those terms.
Note that it will only return results with pages that have those terms in that order.
if you wrap each word in quotes it works the intended way.
eg. "tomato" "seeds" "grow"
Another way to do this is start your search with "allintext:"
allintext: tomato seeds grow
