Generally I do not learn from posts on blogs, however I wish to say that this write-up very pressured me to check out and I did so! Your writing style has amazed me. Thank you, quite nice article.

Great.  Let's dumb down the internet for those that don't understand boolean searches, the most powerful form of search there is.

WTF the + in google was never used for that. It was supposed to add the +whatever as a secondary term to search for in addition to the actualy search. And - would take away any results with the word following the minus. Quotes have always been used for exact word matches, google is lieing to us.

I've never really used the + operator, but I do the use - operator alot to get rid of terms I don't want to see.

With google's search algorithm making use of "number of refering links" to bump a page up in the results, there are times that works against you.

I have always put exact phrases I wanted to search for in quotes. Was I doing it wrong before? Guess it's nice to know I'll be doing it right from now on.

I figured this out a few days ago. As a software developer, sometimes I have to force Google not to assume that the name of a Linux command is a misspelled word or replace it with synonyms. Other times, I need to make sure it doesn't return less useful results because one of the side terms is more common in normal speech.

At first, I was somewhat annoyed -- then I realized they added the functionality to the already-useful double quotes. So long as the ability to force a term is still there, I'm fine with it.

Usually, Google's "fuzzy search" is useful, especially since it includes results using synonymous terms. That way, I don't need to go through the thesaurus to find what I'm looking for. It's only in special situations (like a software keyword) most people would need to force a term.

I've been putting in quotes for years, never used + operator at all.

I hate having to force a word in my query by adding in quotations because Google deems it inrevelant. I know what I'm searching for.

inb4 shitstorm of Apple fanboys crying foul because (GASP!) Google wants to make sure it's easier to get to their social site, but still be able to use operators (WHAT A CRIME!).
