I have used +"a phrase" and gotten a different result from just "a phrase" combined with other words on a number of occasions. It was part of my search strategy for complex information.

This just dumbmifies Google search a little more...

It's like a bad dream, I used it daily to filter results. Why would they obsolete that?

It may be related to the +1 stuff, or they may need to clear the way so it can be used for a new purpose.
