On: Bard and new AI features in Search

In recent years I have to use quotes much more aggressively and use verbatim search almost all the time.

Google is getting less and less helpful.

Do quotation marks do anything for you?

Quotes enclosing an expression search for an expression rather then the words (they have to appear together). And quotes enclosing a single word make that word more likely to appear verbatim.

But as long you don't select verbatim search, these are more of a recommendation to Google.

Just observations, not sure how reliable. YMMV.
