Use of _ links two terms. This finds quicksort or terms linked by underscore

Google Operators Change Every so Often
As an aside, advanced operators change periodically with Google. Two that recently were ‘deprecated’ [discontinued] are + [required term in search] and tilde~ [found related words in a search.
According to Google:The + was discontinued in 2011 [possibly due to

Some Important Basic Search Tips for Google
Add relevant words if your search doesn’t bring up results you want: First try: [ puppy ]
More precise: [ puppy training ] Even more precise: [ dalmatian puppy training class ]
Use only the important words rather than a full sentence or question: Not ideal: [ country where bats are an omen of good
luck ] Better: [ bats good luck ]
