Forum Search Functionality

Not sure if this has been asked about previously, but I was curious if the forum search function has the ability to search for a phrase (search string),

IE: entering "forum search" in the search field and getting results that only contain the phrase "forum search" and excluding results that just have the words forum OR search in them.

I've tried entering phrases enclosed in single and double quotes, yet neither seems to the trick. Not sure if there is some other way I should delineate a phrase or if this functionality just isn't available.

Thanks.

So = forum search found your post.

Wiki says:

The search engine is powered by Sphinx, looking for keywords that are a maximum of 5 words apart at most. A few punctuations can be used to enhance your search:

• Hyphen/Minus (-) - find posts that do not contain the following word.
  • list safe -crime doesn't contain "crime"
• Equal Sign (=) - find posts where the following word is exactly this (no plural forms).
  • list safe =crime contains exactly "crime"
• Circumflex Accent (^) - find posts that begin with the following word
  • list ^beginning crimes begins with "beginning"
• Dollar Sign ($) - find posts that end with the preceding word
  • list ending$ crimes ends with "ending"
• Double Less-Than Sign (<<) - find posts with the preceding word preceding the following word
  • one << four << two the word "one" must come before "four", and "four" must come before "two"

More details on the above punctuations can be found at the sphinx documentation depending on what the developer has enabled.

Looks like phrase search functionality is not available. Still it's good to know the mechanics of the search engine. Much appreciated.
