  1. Another Quandry: The + Operator on What's Wacky with Google? · · Score: 2, Informative

    From what I recall and the way things seem to work now, the + operator has been changed slightly.

    By default, words like "to" "with" and "by" are not included in a search because they are deemed too common. However, I used to be able to force inclusion of those common words using the + operator.

    Now it seems that this is no longer possible. That is, the strings one +to another and one +for another give the same results (without quotes). In fact, the + is replaced by a space in the above queries and that definitely didn't used to be the case.

    Does anyone else remember the good ole' + operator?
