Tell HN: Use “Verbatim mode” to fix Google search
4 by eof | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I, and it seems many others, have noticed a massive decline in quality of google search results. Really frustrating behavior like ignoring quoted strings, giving me results that omit the most important token for my search, etc. I see tons of discussion on this and very few people mentioning the verbatim mode which completely fixes all of this toxic search behavior. Among a tiny, informal survey of my nerdy/developer/tech friends literally none of them knew about this feature. So based on the discussion happening now, and extrapolation, I am assuming most of HN also doesn't know. After you do a search, choose `Tools -> All Results -> Verbatim`. This will give you the behavior that you used to get from google search.
