Search within quotes

Search within quotes

be able to search within quotes.

It would be really useful to be able to search within quotes.

For example, right now, searching for "Getting Started" (with quotes) returns every page that mentions either "Getting" or "Started". This makes it very difficult to find specific information only on "Getting Started". It should returns only pages with "Getting Started" and not pages with just "Getting" or "Started".

Does it possible?

Sounds very persuasive

sorry for the late response. For now, lunr.js, the full-text search library we use, does'support "quotes search", but it provides a solution to implement Exact phrase matching. we going to support "two words search" using "n-gram" in the features until we have a better idea.

@928PJY So is the -"tho words search" using "n-gram" - now implemented? And how could I see this in action?
