    Also is it just me, or did search engines (not just Google) suddenly start disregarding quotation marks a year or so ago? I’ve been adding quotes to tell the stupid thing “no, I really did mean that weird word you think is a typo” and lately it just fucking auto-incorrects it anyway!

      Yea I have this problem as well. Brackets, quotes, nothing forces the search engine to ONLY return that specific term.
