It corrected the typo, but it shows you the option to put it back.
Click the: Search instead for realsense "failed to recconect"
Then you get some very plausible looking results (idk how well they'll solve your problem).
Putting quotes or other search flags and instructions should - as a rule, interpret that literally. Anyone using them wants them to work.
The only time it may annoy someone is if they're copying and pasting ... Quotes, as text, from some website? A plurality of quotes on Facebook are images of text.
It's just Google's interest to keep you faffing around on their search page longer. There's no other reason - this stuff used to work!
Google probably gets 100000 queries with unintentional typo's. Then Maybe 10 queries where the typo is intentional. They're simply gearing their features towards the larger use case.
I would think Google has more information on whether attempting to correct typos even in text within quotes, on average, is an improvement than the typical user of their product.
I also think they’re smart enough to try and use that information. They clearly do not succeed at all times, but I would think they do, statistically. People likely make many typos, even when typing quoted text.
There's a "verbatim" option under search tools for that.
I agree with you that that's what I expect from quotes, but... I really think there are way more Google users who do not expect that. A lot of people think quotation marks are the way you do emphasis in English, for instance!
