I normally use quotes in the search engine to trim down what I'm looking for, but for some reason that's not working anymore.

Some people call them "inverted commas." Silly.

 

[Toots]

Some call them the ganster of love !

Some people call them Maurice,

But no one knows why they don't work like they used to work...

You need to put them closer together for your query to work.

See like this:

Try the Spanish way where it's like ,, "

¿You tried that?

 

[cormack12]

Seems to be fine here

You are probably using a browser that is inserting the idiotic "smart quotes" that are a different character on the left/right side of what you are quoting.

iOS for instance does this, it can be turned off though.

Here's an example with "smart quotes". Notice the difference? The example in the beginning of my post used straight quotation marks, the latest ones are curved inward.

Anyone whose written any sort of text parser code will be familiar with all the dumbass things text editors do.

edit: Yeah just tested, from my iPhone I get results that don't respect the quotation marks, from my laptop in Chrome I get the results I'm looking for. It's called "Smart punctuation" in the iOS settings if you want to turn that off and are using an Apple iDevice. Not sure what the behavior is on Mac by default.

Yeah if you're using an Apple device it's probably doing that beautify text crap and changing the quotes to whatever the pretty Unicode thing is.
