How can I force Google search to use only the exact words (not entire phrase) I typed and not to use spell check and similar words/synonyms?Here is a query I performed in Google search:Mayavi plot3D vary tube radiusMany of the results I got back do not have the word vary but have the word very instead in bold, indicating Google searched specifically for very in addition to vary.  Google also found results that had diameter instead of radius in bold, which although seems to be well-meaning, is not actually helpful for me, as radius is the name of a Mayavi variable I am working with, not diameter.Can I stop Google search from reporting results found with words similar to but different than the words I searched with, and how?
Force Google search to use only the exact words typed, no spellcheck or synonyms
google search
Theres a couple of things you can do to stop Google from being helpful:Add + before the terms that must be included in the result (you can also put them in quotes as you have said)To make it the default mode (find all terms), add as_q=all to the URL (this is not as effective as specifically prepending +)Click the Showing results for Search instead for link to search for what you typed instead of what Google thinks you meantTo make it the default mode, add &nfpr=1 to the URLSo Googling for one of these should give only pages that have what you are looking for:http://www.google.com/search?nfpr=1&as_q=all&q=Mayavi+plot3D+vary+tube+radiushttp://www.google.com/search?nfpr=1&q=Mayavi+plot3D+%2Bvary+tube+%2Bradius
