I feel stupid for asking, but do quotes even do anything anymore? I feel like I try them and it just gives me the same results.

For me, quotes no longer are exact match. Google Search is kind of a bust.

    I cant even imagine why they got rid of that, unless hundreds of thousands of people started pasting 1000-character search terms removing all the known ads currently flying around

They always seem to work for me. I regularly over-specify obscure error messages and get no results.

On Bing I think you have to put a plus symbol immediately following the quoted word: “keyword”+
