I have never heard of "inexact science" or "exact science". Googled exact science, found all results are related to a company. The term "exact science" sounds pseudoscience.

Interesting, Google only gives me https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_Sciences_%28company%29

Apparently search isn't an exact science yet ;)

It's probably a casual expression, sort of like how people use the word "theory" in a different way that science uses it.
