Google has quietly stopped searching by Exact Phrase when you use quotes.
Now by default Google will return pages and pages of results you don't want. Google now thinks you use quotation marks for no reason even though quotes have specifically been the correct format for exact phrase searches on Google.
Maddenly, even using the Advanced Search page and the "This exact word or phrase" text box no longer searches by exact phrase.
I was trying to see if the air purifier company IQAir ever mentioned a key air filtration term on their website. So I typed in an exact phrase search for just the IQAir website:
" "most penetrating particle size" site:https://t.co/gIIt4CmjPW "
What I got was 6 useless pages of links to pages that do not contain the exact phrase "most penetrating particle size," but instead contain some or all of the words. That's the result I should get when I don't use quotation marks.
You can fix this behavior on a search results page by going to the "Tools" drop down menu and changing the "All results" setting to "Verbatim". There is no way to set Verbatim as the default for future searches AFAIK.
Yesterday Mayor Mamdani endorsed a bill to force Amazon to employ its own delivery drivers, rather than outsource the work to subcontractors. The Prospect can report that Amazon's lead lobbyist on that bill is Chuck Schumer's daughter Jessica.

JFC. Between cheeto face falling asleep, RFK Jr. shaking like a leaf like he's going through withdrawal, and some flight attendant wannabee holding her stomach twisting around like a loon, this is the most Hee Haw administration ever.
A trillion-dollar military running short of missiles after six months tells you what the system actually produces: not strategic endurance, but corporate profit. The Pentagon is less a war economy than a machine for transferring public wealth to private capital.
If I was part of the White House Press Corp and just got used as live bait for an Iranian attack I might start covering how the president is shitting himself in public. Like have some self respect.
Your doctors went through 10+ years of medical school. Trump and RFKjr went through illicit drugs and their family’s money. Vaccines are safe. Stop listening to the anti-science crowd.
If they carted this president away in a catering truck and were willing to let reporters be a target on a decoy plane without saying a word about it, imagine the terror threat the US is facing right now and this shit administration wouldn't warn the public.
What in the sweet, ever loving name of Saturday Night Live is going on in this shit-show?
A Bratz doll on animatronic mode, a grandpa past his medication hour, a shaking adderall addict and a female prison warden in a room that looks like a Copper Art store vomited up inside it
14 year heroin addict who sounds like he’s gargling ground glass & has a serious case of the shakes spews lies about vaccines as the president sleeps & shits himself while the NodBot (no one knows who or what the fuck she is) nods & sways. Fucking surreal.
Why this isn’t getting more coverage is frankly baffling.
If Ukraine loses this war, North Korean troops and missile units could be bordering NATO. Ukrainian battlefield innovation could become Russian, while fighting-age Ukrainians under occupation face coercion into Russia’s war machine.
And nobody politically is saying a word?
