Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Quotation marks work well for me, still, after all these years, as their 2022 blog post claims.
They’ll find “him. But” when you search “him but”.
They’ll find “is not” when you search “isn’t”.
Saw them work in a singular and unscientific test a week ago.
One search to try on your favorite engine:
Google, Yandex, and Bing all pull it off. DuckDuckGo fails.
Ah, maybe you’re referring to this: on mobile, you have to ignore Google results below the DMCA removal notice. On desktop - none of those spammy “tiles” with video content and the like. On mobile - yes, after the 100% exact results, you get their attempts at hooking you into staying on the site.
I wonder why it works on bing and not ddg. I've also noticed using operators on ddg is not effective
