Google adds "verbatim" search option for folks that want their misspelled searches

Media_http1bpblogspot_adrgb

Google has succumbed to what I'd call a weird number of requests to basically turn off its matching algorithm, launching a "verbatim" search option that will, well, give you results of exactly what you type into the search bar.

Beyond misspellings, I guess that this could be useful if you often search for obscure terms that Google might otherwise think you just are getting wrong. That said, I'm kind of doubtful I'll ever use this new option. Will yo?

I mean "Will you?"
