    Agreed. For me, making it so that the search engine ignores -string was one of the biggest set backs.

        Hyphen (-) means you don’t want to see this word, while words surrounded by quotes (") means you want these phrases exactly.

        Most symbols are also ignored, which is great for an average user but terrible for programmers.

          Yeh, suddenly you need to know what the language calls the operator within the context you want to use it.
          At which point, you probably don’t need to Google the symbol!

          It was a really dumb move but you can can still get the same effect by putting a word in quotation marks.

            UI-wise, though, it’s toxic, and therefore slower and more stressing. It’s something that can be fixed, and ergo essentially a bug. ;-)
