Could the search engine be made to search for specific phrases?

(1/1)

KevinSig:
There have been times when I know exactly what I'm looking for, words used & the order they were in.

The search engine just gives search results of various threads that contain the same words.  If there's a way we could look up an exact match, I'd appreciate it.

Serack:
I could have sworn I had done this by putting quotes around a search term. 

Edit:  Although I still get search results full of hits that are completely irrelevant with none of my search terms in the posts listed.  (previously pointed out here

I just searched for "circumstances of your birth" with quotes, and got 3 hits that were relevant, and 22 that were worthless.

KevinSig:
Putting things in quotations helps, thanks.

SKndstorm:
Is there another one after that, say for 5,000 posts?

Cgoldageh:
Is there any chance that we will soon get the forum Search function working again?
