This no longer works very well. A while ago I was searching for the linux syscall which is identified in the manpages as 'splice(2)'
If I didn't include quote marks, I basically got pages of junk.
If I did include quote marks I basically got a page of junk and then a single relevant link halfway down the second page followed by another page and a half of junk.
I know to use 'verbatim' now but still very much a downgrade in terms of user experience.
