my problem is some operators just dont work any more, either on purpose or because of crappy quality control. for example, you used to be able to do:

    allintitle:Neil Diamond If You Go Away
on YouTube, and get exactly what you would think, results with all those words in the title. but now, you dont:

https://youtube.com/results?search_query=allintitle:Neil+Dia...

now, I get crap like this:

    Neil Diamond & Shirley Bassey - Play Me - "high quality"
    Barbra Streisand - If You Go Away (Ne Me Quitte Pas)
how is that what I searched for? also, what is this:

> A search for [site:nytimes.com] will work, but [site:nytimes.com] won't.

https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433

did I just have a stroke? those two searches are exactly the same. I try to be understanding, but I am constantly tripping over big companies glaring software and/or documentation issues, it gets old.
