Default Off-topic Google-related rant.

put finger to keyboard and composed:

c "1d array to 2d array" -convert*
About 1,780 results (0.06 seconds)


c assign "1d array to 2d array" -convert*
About 501,000,000 results (0.07 seconds)


I see this sort of thing a lot. I agree that it is nonsensical and
frustrating.

You might like to use the "+" prefix to compel Google to include a
particular search term.

c assign "1d array to 2d array" -convert*
About 583,000,000 results

+c assign "1d array to 2d array" -convert*
No results found for +c assign "1d array to 2d array" -convert*

+c assign "1d array to 2d array"
No results found for +c assign "1d array to 2d array"
