    In the search field, is there an option to search a string of words?

    "Klaus sucks at the piano" gives me results which include the word "sucks" that are not what I'm looking for.

    Same at the old place.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Isn't there an exact phrase search?

        Not that I can find.

          Not yet, but maybe with a plugin.

              Use Google, construct your query like so:

              site:nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club "Klaus sucks at the piano"
              

              This is a Google trick, so it should also work for other sites indexed by Google too.

              It’s a lot more expensive to index “phrases” instead of “words.” So small/cheap search engines typically don’t do that.

                @Axtremus ah! Thank you!

                I'll keep that in mind.

                    You spent so much time asking whether you could, you failed to ask, whether you should.

                    Education is extremely important.
