Exact phrase search doesn't appear to work

[DanPatterson]

Try searching for a phrase like

"no problem"

notice the double quotes surrounding the phrase. 

My reading is that the search should initially limited to that exact phrase, but it doesn't.

Granted, it got a few, but the pages went on and they weren't necessarily sorted by any specific pattern.

There were "problems" a bunch of "no", even a "no"pe

It was like the search engine was trying to be real helpful but then got desperate and began answering the "question that he really meant" 😉

I know this is an issue with most search engines trying to please, but is there a "dial down" button to fine-tune what it offers?

Thanks.... and "no problem" if there isn't
