Have you used the "verbatim search" feature?

It's the new improved "dynamic search
algorithm". Go back and do
the query again from the same machine. The results won't be the same.
"Recent" updates that Google turned on that supposedly look at the
totality of your (and apparently other's) recent internet activity to
post and rank results...
More to the point, even when I put a term in quotes, Google will still
insist on grabbing things "like" it, often ahead of verbatim results.
This really throws a monkey wrench into trying to come up with precise
searches.
Perhaps an expanded notation is needed as in "apple:fruit" to sift out
the edible kind.
