Topic: [Feature] Ability to search phrases in forum.

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Requested feature overview description.

The ability to perform multi-word searches without returning results where the words are separated.

Eg. Searching "big breasts" (with the quotation marks) to find posts that have both words together (forum #183838) and not posts where the words are separated (forum #224259).

Why would it be useful?

Allowing users to find exact phrases cuts down the number of false positives in searches.

What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?

+1. Seems interesting, maybe also would be useful to have the option of search for certain post by unsing the thread's title (complete or not).

e.g.

excerpt from thread's title: "alias"
excerpt from post's content: "day of the dead"

results: (1) (2)

Note: "day", "of", "the", and "dead" are common words and commonly found inside another words, making our current searching tool ineffective on finding the wanted post.
