I searched like this all my life and always got expected results.
But just a week ago I found out that these "how", "what" questions give better and faster results on Google.

The main pain-point, though, is that a lot of long-tail searches you could've used to find different results in years past, now seem to funnel you to the same set of results based on your apparent intent. At least, it has felt that way -- I'm not entirely sure how the modern google algorithm works.
I appreciate that it is easier for newcomers but I still hate it personally after years and especially that they cannot even avoid meddling with my queries even when I try to accept the new system and use the verbatim option.
