Sometimes when I use exact matches like "keyword1" "keyword2" I see results that contain some of the matches but not others. Is there a search engine that only shows results with all the exact matches exactly as they are written?

If it’s a common typo it does that, but below it is a link “search instead for” with your original word.
It never forces other results when you use the word in quotation marks (it might just tell you “Did you mean xy?” without showing results for that).
Pretty sure it’s not just common typos. However you’re right that it doesn’t provide a link to search with the original word. It’s just annoying that even I explicitly went through the trouble of quoting my query it still tries to second guess me and makes me follow another link to get to the results I originally requested.
Most users are idiots, so the behavior makes sense.
If some random teenager googles: “Am I preganante?” then the search result should guess “pregnant” instead and those kind of users will be happy.
It only gets annoying when you search for highly specific things, but I’ve found if you put it in quotation marks it usually works out.
My biggest issue isn’t the search, but the dozens of generated spam sites that nowadays crowd the first search result page :-/
Makes sense, sure. If you aren’t in the category of idiot though it’s pretty annoying and it’s just plain harder to get the results you’re looking for than it used to be.
