something I hate about Google search (searching for two terms)

I think it used to be that when you searched google for

word1 word 2

it used to give you results of sites that contain both of these exact words in the exact form and spelling.
Right now, it's not really the case. Using AND between words doesn't seem to do the job either.

Also, sometimes I search for word1 word 2 and then google either assumes I mistyped one of these words and gives me automatically results for what they think is the correct spelling... or they include just a part of the search, like you'd search for "streetfights" and they'd also include sites containing just 'fights' (random example, not sure if accurate).

anyway, there are more important things to bitch about I know, but sometimes I really hate this..

or maybe I am missing something and there's a way to search google for two (or more) words and get results that feature sites containing always BOTH words in the exact form and spelling that I am looking for?
