While incredibly annoying putting the 4 in quotes like this: "4" will eliminate "for" from your results.
I've been wondering. How do I do that and also search for the exact phrase "iPhone 4"? Do I type "iPhone 4" "4"?
(edit: this seems to work.)
Someone should write a browser extension or Greasemonkey script to automatically quote your Google search terms.
I discovered the "verbatim" option under the "More search tools" link on the left hand side recently.

Not an extension, but:
