I'm really getting tired of *Alphabets* search engine...
+, " and - search tricks are more suggestions than hard rules these days it seems 🤦♂️
It has immensely downgraded the experience.

Yup. And while you can revert to the older search operators with the 'verbatim' option, they hide it and require a few clicks to enable it.
Edit: to get to the verbatim option, on the results page click on the 'search tools' option, and then in the 'all results' drop down change it to 'verbatim'.

Confused by your comment.
What's Alphabets search engine?
Do the +, -, and " operators no longer work? Seem fine to me..

necro but i'm pretty sure the search tricks look through everything on the site, not just the header, that's why you'll see it giving you x when you searched for y, y is hidden in x
