Hi all, I'm a member of the development team for the open source data repository software Dataverse. <https://dataverse.org/> We currently use Sphinx 1.5.6 for our documentation <http://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/>. I was looking at our search logs recently and I noticed users attempting to use quotation marks for exact phrase searching, e.g. "terms of use". Unfortunately, this does not seem to work in our Sphinx search. This is what happens when you attempt this query:
[image: 43105328-79350ef0-8ea2-11e8-81be-b054930d4d2a.PNG] As you can see, this currently returns a useless list of all pages that use the words "use", "user", "used", etc. However, there are plenty of relevant sections about Terms of Use on our guides that are being drowned out. When I search "terms of use" using quotes on my local copy of the guides using SublimeText's search feature, I get these useful results: [image: 43105408-c40d4e10-8ea2-11e8-8ead-b97bbd4f3b25.PNG] Is there any way to enable this kind of exact-phrasing search, and furthermore is there any way to enable search with boolean operators like AND, OR, and NOT? This would be enormously helpful to us and our users. I'm aware that we're using an older version of Sphinx. Would updating help with this, or improve the search functionality in other ways?
