A Google search with zero results?

Question

I was trying to figure out which online casino was running a voice ad, on podcasts, beginning with the phrase "Where was the last place you got lucky?" It turns out that putting that phrase in quotes in Google yields zero results, with filtering off. At least from where I am.This seems utterly impossible. Not least because Google almost never respects quotes around other phrases, and offers its own interpretation against the user's wishes if it can't find the exact phrase somewhere.https://www.google.com/search?q=%22where+was+the+last+place+you+got+lucky%22

I guess it isn't good to complain that a quoted phrase gets respected at least some times.I have also been hitting a few google bombs recently that I thought should have returned at least a few hundred hits.

>It looks like there aren't many great matches for your search Try using words that might appear on the page you&rsquo;re looking for. For example, "cake recipes" instead of "how to make a cake."

When you see complaints saying that Google results are becoming more and more useless by every single day, this is what they mean.It would be interesting to hear Google's stance on this - they stayed curiously silent on the topic.

Indeed - are you really going to tell me this phrase hasn&rsquo;t come up at least once? I don&rsquo;t believe it.
