I was spell checking myself and the auto-generated summary of results told me that the phrase didn’t exist.

For sure. I was muzzy from waking up and wasn’t sure if it was ‘in force’, en-force, or en force. Pretty sure it is French en force which probably translates directly to in force, but I can’t seem to coerce Google search to acknowledge that the phrase exists outside of a band name. If I put it on quotes, the auto summary seems to pick up on it, but still no results. In fact, search seems to be ignoring the quotes completely.
Google search has been ignoring quotes and verbatim for several years. It also seems to try to interpret what you typed, then search for that interpretation. If you want something that’s slightly obscure, but similar sounding to something popular, you have no chance of ever finding it with Google. I’ve had to switch search engines to start finding things again.
15+ years ago I used to be able to find anything I wanted using Google search with 3 or fewer words. I miss those days.
Ask us how they screwed up the AND operator.
Ugh, I hate when they do that. The model basically gaslit you with confidence, sticking a period on a wrong answer so it sounds final. AI loves to be bluffingly sure instead of actually checking context.
Here the problem is context. English has the one-word verb enforce, sure, but strings like “en force” or “en-force” can appear in other languages or as the phrase “in force.” The AI flattened everything and lied by omission. Trust the dictionary, not the smug little summary. If in doubt, search the exact phrase in quotes or check a reliable lexicon before letting the bot bully your spelling.
To be fair. It seems more likely to be a misspelling. AI is right here. In particular with the minus instead of a space. They probably should also provide the en force meaning though.

Boneappletea has been a thing for a while.
No, you can’t just slap the words “to be fair” in front of nonsense. I mean, I guess you proved that you can, but it doesn’t make you any less wrong. It was not a typo, so that first sentence is absolutely, positively 100% incorrect rendering the rest of it just as incorrect.
