My bad. I could swear it was removed at some point but I can't find articles.

A quick test reveals maybe the change is that you can't do an exact "ascii" search, ie. google searches for an exact sequence of words, but the casing may be different , there-may-be-dashes and so on.

To use the plus sign like behaviour you now need to use quotes (since 2011). Instead of:

  mars +landings +failures
you now have to do:

  mars “landings” “failures”
