Has anyone else been annoyed/frustrated by Google asking "Did you mean: " and then, whether you like it or not, searching for what it thinks you meant rather than what you actually typed?
I'm sure it didn't used to do this, it quite reasonably asked the "Did you mean: " but then actually searched for what you entered.
In my experience of these cases, it searches for both the term that you gave plus any related, derivative, metonymous etc. terms. I think it's quite clever.
You can still try to get it to take you more literally by enclosing your terms in double quote marks.
