Google search has moved away from keywords and towards queries.

"US ambassador Germany" makes it hard to comprehend what you intend. Do you get better results for "who is the US ambassador to Germany" or "news about us ambassador to Germany?"

For a few years, I got better results with natural language queries. However, over at least the last two, I've been getting better results by just including key words. The order of the words matters, though.
