Google supports searching “specific phrases”, -excluding_words, +ensuring_keywords, and whatever * is. I havent found any other indexers that allow me to make use of searches with that level of detail, which is often the only way you can find specific things these days.
Duckduckgo does plenty with its advanced search operators, which are pretty similar to Google’s. * is a wildcard, meaning if you were to search c*y, results word return something including a sequence beginning with ‘c’ and ending with ‘y’, but having any sequence of characters in between them.
Pretty sure Yandex at least allows for all of those search operators. As far as meta search engines, basically anything that uses google’s results like Startpage will also likely support them.
