Have you tried verbatim mode? I use it by default.

Google used to work closer to verbatim mode but would get common synonyms to give you comprehensive results. Now it stretches synonyms and alternate spellings to the point of uselessness.

They also changed "did you mean Y" into "showing results for Y". So annoying.

Could you explain how to use verbatim mode please? For anyone else reading in the future as well.
