exact token searches aren't gone? what are you talking about, I use them all the time and the results are clearly different than just putting a bunch of terms on their own

Sure, they're different. But they aren't results that strictly only include the exact token or phrase.

I have many times searched for an exact phrase I know is in a result and could not find it on the first two pages of results.
