And you would be wrong, and Gene would be correct.  Virtually everything you describe is not now, and has never been, the case for web searching.  If you are not going about something in "the usual way" you will get unusual results.  And, as Gene has already noted, the ability of search engines to use "fuzzy logic" means that, other than using quoted strings when you want an absolutely exact match (but not case sensitive, in most cases), a natural language question will work if one chooses to use one.

Web searching has only become easier, and far, far more intuitive, over the decades.  And anyone can acquire the basics for doing them with ease.

The depths of denial one can be pushed to by outside forces of disapproval can make you not even recognize yourself to yourself.
