This is one of my pet htes with google at the moment. They helpfully tell which of the search terms are missing in each result, and every time I see that "missing" tag, I am starting to draft an email in my mind:

"Dear Google AI. Why do you think I wrote that word into my query? Best Regards, Beefield."

(Second one is that there is no way to make specific queries to return results only in a certain language (and even adding words in a specific language does not help because it tries to translate them), but you need to change the settings for the whole google search)

It's a little hidden away but advanced search can do this.

For example: https://www.google.com/search?as_q=猫&lr=lang_en

You could try the Verbatim setting, which is under Tools | All results.
