Out of curiosity, I noticed (as I mentioned in a reply to your sibling) I could produce unrelated results by fiddling with the region; does changing region do anything for you?
Just tried to test it out and I'm now seeing correct results when I set the region to 'US' and an empty list of results when using my own region. This is not at all what I was seeing earlier.
That isn't how the quote feature is supposed to work. I just tried putting the individual keywords in quotes ("lowes" "pet" "bedding") and it works exactly like you would expect.
How is it supposed to work? I expect to see only those results that contain an exact match on the entire phrase between the quotes but perhaps I've misunderstood?
My wife requires that we have cutlery pointing in both directions, in two neatly sorted piles, to optimize space usage and look good. But we also sort into the drawer not the dishwasher (I have to sort at least once, so it seems faster to me not to do it twice by sorting the dishwasher too)
Also entrenched high performers with extremely high salaries (to be replaced with young enthusiasts at the beginning of their career cycles), also some random people too — just like a simulated annealing schedule for performance optimization.
I am not defending the moral side of these decisions, just saying that this is how all corporations aiming to maximize shareholders value work.
