    Quotation marks work well for me, still, after all these years, as their 2022 blog post claims.

    They’ll find “him. But” when you search “him but”.

    They’ll find “is not” when you search “isn’t”.

    Saw them work in a singular and unscientific test a week ago.

    One search to try on your favorite engine:

    “they had spent all day waiting outside the double doors”

    Google, Yandex, and Bing all pull it off. DuckDuckGo fails.

    Ah, maybe you’re referring to this: on mobile, you have to ignore Google results below the DMCA removal notice. On desktop - none of those spammy “tiles” with video content and the like. On mobile - yes, after the 100% exact results, you get their attempts at hooking you into staying on the site.
