Dear DDG, I genuinely, truly appreciate an AI filter on images.

But for the love of Bob, would you please enable absolute operands ("" or +) in image searching? It's been on your todo list for over a decade.

I miss when you could put `+foo -bar` into a search engine, ctrl-F on the top ten results, and reliably find `foo` on all ten of them and `bar` on none of them.

Nowadays, putting in `-bar` might increase the number of results that are directly about bar.

This bugs me no end. Image search is so challenging to use because the results are a vague interpretation of what you ask for, and don't try to be more descriptive because that's just more words to throw in the mix of results
