Description of the issue:
I use search operators to get only few specific results but it removes the operators and now I have thousands of results but 0 are relevant. How can I force use the operators
Brave Version (check About Brave):
dont know where to find it i tried it today
Given that you are using Firefox, some of the following may not appy . . . but some will, for example, some of the !bangs ← for example, !s entered into the Brave Search > Search field (not into the URL address field), will take the Firefox browser to the Startpage Search Engine webpage.
In my experience, the plus and particularly the minus symbols usage have NOT been reliable:
+:
Returns web pages containing the specified term either in the title
or the body of the page.
Example: to find information about FreeSync GPU technology, making sure
the keyword “FreeSync” appears in the result, type “gpu +freesync”.
-:
Returns web pages not containing the specified term neither in the title
nor the body of the page.
Example: to search web pages containing the keyword “office” while avoiding
results with the term “Microsoft”, type “office -microsoft”.
Example, enter into the Brave Search Field (not in the URL address field) at https://search.brave.com:
penny
and search. Notice the results. Next, enter in the search field:
penny NOT site:wikipedia AND NOT site:usmint.gov
Notice the results and the difference between the two results sets.
