--- Comment #1 from Nik Everett <[email protected]> ---
Confirming Capmo's report on the behavior.  This is how it works.  On addition:
If the user is using Cirrus and the page has an exact title match then you
won't get the [[MediaWiki::Searchmenu-new]] either:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=%22main+page%22&fulltext=Search&srbackend=CirrusSearch

This is because Cirrus reports back to the Special:Search page that the search
contained search syntax and special page doesn't give the user the option to
create a page containing special search syntax.  Its not the same but was
designed to solve the same kind of problem.  Honestly the solution you propose 
in the case that the search is entirely surrounded by quotes (and only contains
a single pair of them) is better because it preserves the create option.  This
is certainly one of the most common uses of special search syntax so it might
be worth special casing.

I've CCed Dan for prioritization.
