I thought Google was ignoring the quote operator these days. It always seemed to for me, until I quit using them.

All I know is that the URL says google.com, I don't see what you're seeing

It literally shows google.com my guy

I think they are confusing Microsoft Edge (the browser) and Bing (the search engine). You can see the Copilot icon in the top right, so it’s probably the Edge browser.

my bad. i did not look at url bar (in my browser, it is at bottom), and could only recognise the copilot logo at the top right, so I assumed it was bing. Sorry

I think google still listens to the quote operator first, but if that would return no results, it then returns the results without the quotes.

That seems to be what I've seen from my experience, anyway.

Google has a "search tools" drop down menu (on mobile it's at the end of the list of images/shopping/news etc).
It's default set to "all results". I believe changing it to "verbatim" is closer to the older (some would say "dumber", I would say "more predictable") behaviour

Fair enough! Not going back though, I'm doing just fine with maapl.net for now.
