  Hyphen (-) means you don’t want to see this word, while words surrounded by quotes (") means you want these phrases exactly.

  Most symbols are also ignored, which is great for an average user but terrible for programmers.

    Yeh, suddenly you need to know what the language calls the operator within the context you want to use it.
    At which point, you probably don’t need to Google the symbol!

  I’m still pissed over removing +words. Like, G+ is gone, guys, so revert that mess.
