Not ignoring the deliberate use of verbatim operators (text in quotes), and delivering verbatim results, just as they were doing a decade ago, would be a fantastic improvement. I've found this problem in every search engine, and it's infuriating. Quick example:

    "A+Z" becomes "A-Z":

https://www.google.com/search?q="A%2BZ"

     "(dog)" becomes "dog"

https://search.yahoo.com/search?p="(dog)"

https://www.google.com/search?&q="(dog)"

https://www.bing.com/search?q="(dog)"

https://yandex.com/search/?text="(dog)"
