Google does some other shifty things. Can't find the thread but I think it was in reference to google splitting a single word query into two words. You need to do something silly like search for:

word1word2 -"word1 word2"

In the past searching for word1word2 would give you the desired results. (Remember word1word2 is a SINGLE query, but G has detected two sequential dictionary words so it splits them. G obviously knows better than I regarding what I'm searching for.)
