I was just asking about this Google "feature" on Twitter [1]. I can't imagine why anyone would want "must include" to mean anything but, and if it doesn't mean exactly that to Google, then they shouldn't say it.

> does anyone know why Google does this with search their results? what does the word “must” mean here, practically?

The "must include" bit is a link. If you click it, you're telling Google that results must include that term (rather than may include, which is the default).
