But that's easy to fix by putting in quotes. And Google will often highlight next to a search result "doesn't include <search term>", which you can click and Google will add the quotes for you.

If you put all terms in quotes, Google generally won't ignore anything. It will tell you it couldn't find any results though, quite frequently.

Sure, there are workarounds for the problem, some of which work reliably. In the grand scheme they're not even onerous, just annoying.
