      The examples I’ve found fall into “caveat” territory.

      Fortunately, Google Search has a special operator for that: quotation marks. Put quotes around any word or phrase, such as [“wireless phone chargers”], and we’ll only show pages that contain those exact words or phrases.

      Caveats:

      Quoted searches may match content not readily visible on a page.

      Quoted terms may only appear in title links and URLs.

      Snippets might not show multiple quoted terms.

      Quoted searches don’t work for local results.
