Right: that's the right order.
Do web searches care about word order, though?
Actually, yes they do I'm pretty sure. Since web searches started getting horrible, the old style of searching using only the important words (and in any order) doesn't work very well. Part of adapting to whatever it's doing now, I've found using whole sentences works best, for whatever reason.
Should it? I don't think so. I think the old algorithm was more useful once you've learned how to search. It probably changed because more people with no technical knowledge didn'tknow how to use it properly.
I think your kinda missing my point, lol
