New Google Search option without suggestions or corrections (VERBATIM)

As annunced yesterday Google has just implemented (english version only) "Verbatim" search mode.

This option's goal is to replace double quoted searches avoiding any suggestion or corrections to the user entry.

It's supposed to make the "I want you to look for this exact phrase" without the double quote and, again: avoiding suggestions or grammatical corrections. You can read a simple explanation at Google's search help.

Enjoy it!

Next you can see what I was talking about with a search from google.com without double quotes, with double quotes and with Verbatim. I was expecting with double quotes and with Verbatim to give me the same search result but there must be something I'm missing here.

Write in C [ The Bit-Less ]

The last song by "The Bit-Less", Write in C adapted from The Beatles' original song "Let it Be".

Write in C, with music and sung by a fan of C... I suppose :-)

Write in C ("Let it Be")

When I find my code in tons of trouble,
Friend and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
"Write in C."

As the deadline fast approaches,
And bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
"Write in C."

Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
LOGO's dead and buried,
Write in C.

I used to write a lof of FORTRAN,
For science it worked flawlessly.
Try using it for graphics!
Write in C.

If you've just spent nearly 30 hours,
Debugging some assembly,
Soon you will be glad to
Write in C.

Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
BASIC's not the answer,
Write in C.

Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
Pascal won't quite cut it,
Write in C.

As usual, and for last the original song... Let it be by The Beatles.
