Fix Google Search (Missing terms?) HOWTO

A little while back, Google Search realized that most humans are stupid, and it started to think that it was pretty clever by including search results that didn't include all of the supplied search terms. Finally, they have added the "verbatim" option:

Missing: You're welcome.
