This being relatively large chain store, I'm quite certain there should be forum posts or reddit discussions about their return policy. I have no way of proving they exist, seeing as how Google is shit at finding stuff.

"So what's the problem here"? The problem is, the search engine threw away one third of my query terms, and then gave me all chaff. Apparently I should've thrown in some random punctuation to convince it to actually use all of them.

Can you just tell the name of the store? I want to see for example what happens if I select verbatim mode.

Example with Target, in DDG, verbatim: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22target%22+%22return+policy%22&t...

Seems to work.
