English is not the only language in the world. ;–) But even for it, for example, capitalization is another important "exact" thing. Other things from my experience: some strange people might write, for example, "km\h" instead of "km/h"; sometimes hyphens and dashes are confused in compound words; it might be useful to distinguish between phrases (with spaces), URLs (with dots) or emails and some fancy names (such as "Folding@home"). I don't think that it is very difficult to add a post-filter to the current "exact search" that will check for "truly exact" (character-wise) matches. It shouldn't be difficult to add some modifiers (in the spirit of current "~") to trigger this behavior. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
