If you have any example queries I'd love to debug them. You might find them here: https://history.google.com/history/ if you have search history turned on.

That's great! I do not have search history turned on but will definitely find you some nice examples of what I mean going forward.

Does "verbatim" mode approach what you need? Google won't attempt to guess what words it thought you meant in that mode.
I would love an advanced search mode with some simple boolean logic, even if it took several seconds to return the result, for those times when you really need to sift through a lot of garbage to find the results you really want.
What is the point of Google returning results in 0.000000001 seconds if they aren't the results I wanted and I have very little means of refining the search. The moment a new search engine comes with this functionality and a decent indexed base, it's bye-bye Google for me.
