    Same for search. If I’m trying to search for something that happened in the past and that person or subject has been in the news recently, that’s ALL I get. even using +/- and “” modifiers does nothing and gives me results without my specific search functions.

      I have heard other users say that Google ignores those modifiers now, but I hadn’t seen anything from an official publication saying so. But it makes sense when you think about it- the faster you get your search results, the less time you spend looking at ads.
