Sometimes when I use exact matches like "keyword1" "keyword2" I see results that contain some of the matches but not others. Is there a search engine that only shows results with all the exact matches exactly as they are written?

    Most users are idiots, so the behavior makes sense.

    If some random teenager googles: “Am I preganante?” then the search result should guess “pregnant” instead and those kind of users will be happy.

    It only gets annoying when you search for highly specific things, but I’ve found if you put it in quotation marks it usually works out.

    My biggest issue isn’t the search, but the dozens of generated spam sites that nowadays crowd the first search result page :-/

      Makes sense, sure. If you aren’t in the category of idiot though it’s pretty annoying and it’s just plain harder to get the results you’re looking for than it used to be.
