That is unfortunate. It seems that the search results in Google lists https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20450531/python-operator-in-print-statement as the top result.

I get a little bit better results with howdoi print string in python 3, but ultimately it is up to the search engine which answers ranks first.

Yes the results are chosen by the search engine (configurable with --engine) and then by the top rated answer on Stack Overflow.
