There is a tab-style link directly below the search box called "Tools" in the search results page. Once clicked it displays a few settings and one of them can be set to "Verbatim".
Choose that and your search terms will actually be what is searched for, as opposed to some arbitrary subset of it. I wish this was better documented.
