Good Search Engine

Hi,
Does anyone know of a search engine that will ONLY display
locations that have the words in your search text?

I am willing to pay a subscription to use such a search engine.

The major search engines display locations that match one of
the words in your search string and disregard "+".

Years ago, Yahoo, Google, and Bing performed better than they
do now.

Thank You in advance, John

It could be the search engine.

That's good for phrases, but the OP didn't indicate
using a phrase. If you want a fruit store you might
search for: apples oranges pineapple
If you search for "apples oranges pineapple" you're
not likely to get a match.

Quotes are great when they're relevant, though.
I often find original articles by searching for a unique
string in a reprint. And I bypass Microsoft's irritating
and unnecessary javascript requirement on their
support pages by searching for the exact URL in
quotes, without the https://, at Google. Then I
read Google's cache copy. Microsoft will intercept
the page load otherwise and replace it with a blank white
page that just says "javascript required", even though
the page is just plian text and a few links, which
doesn't need script.

duckduckgo and Startpage are from the same stable, but Startpage is very
cutomisable and the url generated from your choices can be saved as your
home page or wahtever without needing a cookie.
Ironically, both of these do use Google as one source (they do
metasearches).

-0400 typed in alt.windows7.general the following:

* Words found on related pages:
One of the common search engine ranking methods
is to give a value to pages that link to your word. For
instance, you could get Sears when you search for
ham radio even if they don't sell them.

I know Sears sells radios. And yes, Sears does sell ham. So
obviously, anyone searching for ham radio is looking for ham to eat
with their radio.
Or something like that.

What I hate are the sites where the more search terms I enter,
attempting to narrow the search, the more "results" I get. E.G., enter
adding marriage Registry" to a search for San Bernardino added to
the hits for "San", "Bernardino", those for "Marriage", and "Registry"
as well.

How to use google search. I even found a paperback on google search,
but it's about 15 years old and I'm not sure how much applies. About
1/4" thick.

Try Google with each of the words inside "quote" "marks"

For example: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22jaugustine%22

It would be a mistake to assume that all search engines use the
same search syntax. It would also be a mistake to assume that
any one search engine must keep the same '+ search syntax which
it used a decade ago.

Where the search page shows ads, it would also be a mistake to
assume only ads are shown which contain your search words. He
who pays the piper calls the tune.

Use quotation marks like "your search text"?

Hi,
I am aware of using quotes, but that only "works" if the
words are related. Example, "cook book".

I would like to be able to find a location/site that contains
every word in the search string. Example: Panasonic,+"dvd recorder"+
endless+hello. Note: I have an issue with my Panasonic DVD recorder that
is "stuck" on "hello" display when turned on after I plug it into the wall
outlet. Normally, the "hello" would disappear after a few seconds and a
flashing "12:00 AM" would appear.

BTW, I also use duckduckgo.

try looking for ...
Panasonic model hangs

Also try ...
Panasonic model engineers menu
Panasonic model diagnostic menu
.... with a bit of luck you'll find something for your model like this
one I made up for mine:
http://www.macfh.co.uk/JavaJive/Audi...neersMenu.html

Note that the resetting to factory defaults sequence may work for yours
as well.

Hi "Java Jive"

BTW, there is a coma after "Panasonic" in the search string example that
does NOT belong (my mistake).

I was using this search string from the past as an example. FYI, the
Panasonic model number is DMR-ES20. I bought this in 2005. I now have a
Sanyo VCR/DVD combo recorder that works very well. I did not get rid of the
Panasonic DVD recorder yet on a chance I might find the cause of this never
ending "hello" issue in the future.

I notice the same problem. Shouldn't more words lead to a more limited
search, not more irrelevant items? That's the way words normally work,
"tyler zoo" applies to fewer things than "zoo". "tyler zoo gorilla" even
fewer.
