These days Google isn't up to much on a technical level ;-)

They cannot even fix the old verbatim feature that they broke a few years ago, so how should should they be able to stop this without breaking something else?

Yep, this is somewhat hyperbolic but I'll write it anyway. I want my old Google back.

Tools -> All Results -> Verbatim is confirmed broken? I thought something was fishy...

Hasn't worked consistently for me for years.

To be precise: I think it work sometimes, but I know it doesn't work most of the time unless verbatim means something completely different from what I think ;-)

You can verify this quickly by searching for something slight unusual or very specific, apply verbatim and verify that most of the results still doesn't contain your words.
