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.

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.

Putting things in quotations helps, thanks.

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

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