> Google would return websites containing that exact phrase. That no longer works.

Er, what? No search engine finds "It never rains on a Wednesday in Rockshire". Results for "It never rains on a Wednesday" with exact matches

Google - 6 pages

Bing - 3 pages

Yandex - 0 pages

Duck Duck Go - 3 pages

That was just a random example of a phrase. I made it up on the fly.

He isn't complaining that the specific phrase "It never rains on a Wednesday in Rockshire" to turn up any results. He used it as an example of the kind of phrase which, even though they exist somewhere on the web, won't be found with Google.

Well now it does. Strangely, for Bing this thread is third on the list but does not show any of the searched for text in the text blurb like the other suggestions.
