Google does not treat quote marks as a mandatory exact match any more, just a hint.

Unless you use the "Verbatim" option. Shame it can't be enabled by default, though.

Even with verbatim mode it still screws with the search a little bit.

Bing, on the other hand... last time I tested it was very strict, where did all these trash result come from, ugh.

Search tools (below search bar) → All Results → Verbatim.
