Exact wording or phrase for Advanced Search

(example and point)

I was looking at my DVD's earlier and thinking about how many have Digital Copies. For myself, I find them extremely unuseful as I font have anything other than a PC for them. So I tried to do a search using the phrase "Digital Copy", and I got hundreds of search returns. (Granted this is a very general term, especially with Special Edition DVD's and such) So I tried searching for thread titles and that was not much different.

Generally my searches are pretty specific as is. But what if im looking for something thats a few words phrase? Search will just return everything that has at least one or more of those words, which wouldn't be very helpful. But an "exact wording or phrase" option in Advance Search would help to cure that.

Or am I the odd man out?

Did you put your search terms in quotes?
