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.
