I use DDG, and I don't think it's an amalgamater. But if
you're just looking for "search for the words I asked

me, you run without cookies and without logging in, the
results should be impartial.
Where is this "verbatim" option that you speak of?
I just checked main search page, advanced search page, and
search settings.
I must be looking in the wrong place.
If you turn off CSS, it's right there on the page. If you
have CSS on, it's more complicated. I forget where it is,
but it's hidden and requires two or three clicks to get to
it. Or, as someone else pointed out, "If you put &tbs=li:1
at the end of your search URL, you'll get verbatim
results."

Ah, other people had the same problem of finding it, and
someone showed how it's done via animated gif:

I can't verify that method because, for security reasons, I
run with active scripting turned off.
