Answer
Hello Irm,
Welcome to Bing Community!
If you wish to search for exact phrases or verbatim, you may do so by placing the search words within quotation marks. For example, "short evergreen tree."
This way, Bing search will populate results with the exact phrase that you typed in.

Doesnt work. I did a search, and put "chinese" in quotes. It returned sites for asian, without the word chinese anywhere on the page. Tried a plus, didnt work either. I do not like these new search algorithms. They are for children, IMO. If i put
a word in the search, that is what I want to see.

This is true. Quotation marks do not make the search verbatim in Bing. Google has the same problem (they even have a search option called "verbatim", but it is not verbatim at all).
If I specify that I want to search verbatim, I want only pages with the exact text I type in the search box.

This is ****. The search engine is becoming more and more plebian. Searching for specific sentence scale phrases is not the sort of search engine people like us grew up with. Bing and Google are selling out actual PC users for this new wave of smartphone
user, people who have to be asked if they're sure the computer is plugged in.

Beth, could you address the fact that this doesn't work.
