    Wow plus was thirteen years ago? Seems longer. That’s when i gave up on google. They had wrecked the + operand so that it only gave you google+ site results. It was insanity to do so and whatever grudging respect i had for them was immediately defenestrated.

    After months of outcry they added a tiny advanced tools menu option called “verbatim” that you had to use just to get something like the AND function. Total idiocy.

    Later, it failed.

      Upvoting for excellent usage of the word ‘defenestrated’ in a sentence that doesn’t refer to Russian tactics for getting rid of political opponents.
