Exact search doesn't seem to be searching in the title

+7
−0

An example where an exact search returns no results for the copy and pasted title.

I found this because I was looking for that question and could only remember the title and had a very difficult time finding it with the search function.

The non-exact search doesn't seem to work very well either.

Came here looking to propose exact search with symbols but I think this one needs to be addressed first

There seems to be a more general problem so I have raised Search does not search the title of posts as this does not seem to be a problem with only exact search, but with any search.
