Thomas King (ID: 000000425ad666c3) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/26/2020 This is a great effort. It has limitations, but BRAVO vikbez for doing what Google should have put in the options.

icon

Laurel Hell (ID: 00000002726e51f7) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/20/2020 Love this extension; really saves me time for most searches. But I'm having issues turning it off. Right now, the extension button is white, which means Verbatim mode should be "off." However, google is only searching in Verbatim mode. Because of the nature of the tool--which forces the webpage into Verbatim--when it's "on," you can't get the page to show all results; it will just jump back to verbatim. So when the button isn't working as designed, rather is "always on," that's a huge problem. Am on Macbook and Chrome.

Alyson Lynch (ID: 0000004836d255df) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/31/2018 I love this extension, but I HATE that I cannot turn it off temporarily at the top of a search. There is a dropdown and I can select "All results" instead of "Verbatim," but the page ALWAYS reloads with the Verbatim results (so there is the option, but it doesn't work). Since it is a pain to go into settings and turn it off, I end up switching to another browser to conduct a regular search and it is a huge pain.

icon

Robin Karinen (ID: 000000ddbe326cb5) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/13/2018 Sometimes the button is buggy.. Verbatim search is enabled, but the button shows it as disabled. One has to click the button twice to disable it again..

icon

Jeff Rife (ID: 000000fca801abc7) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/29/2017 Breaks the "Tools" on the Google results page, along with the "Images", "Shopping", etc., searches, which don't have Verbatim equivalents. It's easier just to copy the default Google search and add "&tbs=li:1" to the search URL right after the "%s".
