What would be nice is if you could toggle this behaviour. Sometimes I know exactly what I'm looking for, sometimes I don't. Assuming I never do is at least as silly as assuming I always do. Just give me the option.

I am frankly baffled that after all this focus on "personalised search", they still don't actually allow you to personalise your search like that.

You can. Or at least you used to be able to, by putting your query in double quotes. Apparently it no longer works either.

Don't you just put words or phrases in double quotes when you want to tell it you know what you want?
