Anymore it seems impossible to do a Web search that includes particular terms. A search like
+A +B
gives results where term B is not in the search results. Google does this, and now DuckDuckGo does it too, and as far as I can tell, so does Bing. And if you try to exclude term C
Does anyone have a solution for this? I think it's because the search engines don't want to return null results because they want to include their advertising links.
It's frustrating. Or am I doing something wrong?
Edit 12-Oct: took out the quote marks that were around the search term, since they mean something on search that I didn't mean here.

Try removing the inverted commas, " ", around both items in the search request. For example, +A -B
Or, use the inverted commas around each term. For example, +"A" -"B"

Thanks. But actually I only put the quote marks in for the sake of reading here. In the search bar I don't include them. I'll take them out in the post.
