Google silently correcting search terms. Anyone else having this problem?

12 pointsby guantesabout 14 years ago
I've noticed recently that it's become hard to do google searches that aren't "mainstream". For example, if I search for "riak configure listen interface", "riak" is automatically corrected to "risk" without showing the usual "showing results for..." text.<p>Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/tuNhF.png<p>Anyone have a good way around this that doesn't involve adding a + to every search term?

Is there a technical reason why Google couldn't use some sort of "I know what I'm doing" setting to disable some or all of the help they're doing now? Quoting every word feels like a hack that could go away at any minute.

this has been happening to me when using google instant and really annoying me. if i type slowly, it wont correct on me, if i type fast it does correction. sometimes large ones.

Yes, this has been happening to me too. It's particularly frustrating when I search from my phone.
