hmm, seems strange. Though it did ignore the "in a" part.

Cool. Wonder why.

Or maybe they still are, but just removed the message informing you...

Maybe because Google like simple interfaces, and they decided it was unnecessary clutter. That's just a guess.

They still remove "and" from your search query, but other common words seem to be getting through.

They still do remove many common words, but don't bother to report it explicitly

actually it happened to me many months ago, something like :

web hosting singapore
web hosting in singapore

i actually get different result from both phrase.

No news here, other than they don't show the ignore message anymore.

The SitePoint Forums have moved.
