1-click verbatim search would be nice, instead of 3. Or even 0. "Verbatim" search, a.k.a. searching for actually what I wanted to search for. I rarely do a search that I don't want to be verbatim. The way it's hidden under Tools now I think most people don't even know about it.

Also, when I search for a lot of things, the results are 90% obviously fake sites with super-dubious junk URLs...I'm not sure why they're not blocked, it can't be that hard.

Personally, I use unfuck Google. It helps a lot, but it would be better if I didn't need to do this.
