Also, the interweb is broken. But we knew that.

Yep...actively avoiding anything 'gaagle' in this house!
]]>!g "devuan"
Don't put multiple words inside the quote marks, unless you're searching for that exact phrase.
So, instead of
lg "devuan printer" (the exact phrase)
I would search on DDG for:
lg "devuan" "printer" (DDG will use Google to find results that contain both individual words)

"verbatim" is a Google search option, on their search page. Didint mean to imply a general search option. Excuse my lack of clarification.
]]>Search for an exact match
Put a word or phrase inside quotes. For example, "tallest building".
I've tried that many times, and it never seems to work. At this point, I'd be happy to know how to get google to return hits that contain my search terms.
I have good luck with Google Verbatim. At the search page top press Tools button, change All Results to Verbatim.
From what I understand, the results must contain all the search words (an "AND").

]]>In your Google search, put the word "Devuan" in quote marks.
That too. There are quite a few "operators" but recently seem to be ignored at times. Google just wants to feed me what they think I should see. It's frustrating.
]]>I just did a quick search for "devuan" in google and all the hits on the first page were directly related to devuan not debian.
Same here.
]]>As a matter of fact, I see this as a direct improvement over the past as usually it will have a line just under the search entry stating somethine like, "Did you mean debian?" And even this did not show. This means to me that google is allowing for a greater divergence between the two.
Not disagreeing with you, just reporting what I see on google where I am at.
