Web searching died the day they invented SEO

"Quote marks? Such a pain."

Giving a search engine the exact phrase in quotes rarely returns any correct matches. It doesn't help that the algorithms seem to remove any significant characters like dots or apostrophes first.

Recently some YouTube searches have started coming up with "0 results" for the names of groups - yet still happily display all the group's old videos on their own YouTube page

It is not a case of an "exact match" - as on other similarly constructed search terms they come up with very vague matches ahead of the expected ones.
