Have you never copied and pasted an error code into Google and have it return zero or only 1 or 2 results?

It’s terrible but far better than getting 100’s of irrelevant results because Google decided two words out of 10 in your query were the only ones that matter.

I actually have had this happen and it's infuriating.

I've had queries of copy+pasted errors with zero results, but playing around with it a bit just to find a github result that was only like two words off.

Surely the similarity to the one on github would still have it ranked on the first page?
