Exact text search

Is there any way to do an exact text search. Something like "Head of the House" or "Lana Rhoades" and only results appear that contain exactly what I'm looking for?

Search engine is based on natural language. The first results should be the most relevant but I know it's not perfect. However, as I've already said in some other posts, it's necessary to deal with language that doesn't use latin characters.


If you want to search for exact word, so you have to use double-quotes (") around your keywords.

Lana Rhoades => results are only based on a score
"Lana Rhoades" => only results which contains exactly "Lana Rhoades"


Hope it helps...

More details: Once again, the "core" of the search engine is made for natural language. So, even with double quotes, you may have some false-positive.
This is the 2nd version of search engine on this site. I'm aware a 3rd version could be done, but it's a lot of time to spend on, and many parts of this site need to be improved first... :(

I believe that Lana Rhoades and "Lana Rhoades" is working exactly the same way

Hello,
It should be ok now.
Using double-quotes (") activates exact search.
See you! 
Thank you so much!!
