If I start fucking adding swear words to all my fucking search queries, how the fuck will the stupid ass search engine know that I did not want it to use that shit as one of my keywords and give me back a whole lot of fucked up shit?

It's not like it doesn't freely ignore any unquoted word whenever it feels like it.

The quoted words search barely works these days anyway.

It's not hard to make a search engine that respects '+'

Unless your new upstart social service is called SearchEngine+ so you remove it

(Except duckduckgo also seems to semi-ignore it. I'm baffled. I give up. I'm throwing my computer out the window, and moving to the woods)

Hey, we had fixed a lot of syntax issues a while back, so happy to look into this if it is still messed up.
