Even Verbatim search will happily lop-off search words.

Tonight I was searching for "raf ballykelly vulcan" and after a few puzzling results realised that Ballykelly had been discarded. Since it was the airfield in question the results were therefore useless.




It is exactly this kind of issue that I am talking about. Even DuckDuckGo manages this better than Google. It’s seriously an issue.

And with Google Maps being already worse than Bing, OSM, or even fucking Apple Maps, all Google products I actively used are now useless for me.


Either they've fixed it or I'm not seeing the problem - I get a bunch of pages that include ballykelly and vulcan. Forcing "ballykelly" didn't seem to make any difference.
