Up to last week I was able to do an exact internet search using DuckDuckGo with the +"search term" +"another search term" syntax. Google has lost this essential feature already several years before and Bing followed later. Is there any publicly available search engine still supporting exact searches ? (Exact search means that all the results must contain all the serch terms or a "no results" message is returned.) -- Juergen 134.255.193.13 ( talk) 09:52, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
+"Welcome to the computing reference desk." +"Want a faster answer?"
on Google brings up this page and its various mirrors only, as it should. As the second phrase is found on every reference desk page, the fact that Google only pulls up the computing reference desk shows that it searched for both terms exactly. If I replace some of those words in the search with gibberish, it correctly displays no results.
