    Google supports searching “specific phrases”, -excluding_words, +ensuring_keywords, and whatever * is. I havent found any other indexers that allow me to make use of searches with that level of detail, which is often the only way you can find specific things these days.

      Duckduckgo does plenty with its advanced search operators, which are pretty similar to Google’s. * is a wildcard, meaning if you were to search c*y, results word return something including a sequence beginning with ‘c’ and ending with ‘y’, but having any sequence of characters in between them.
