Self explanatory, and I'm amazed it's not already an option. I'd like a checkbox on the search page (passed as a GET parameter like the other form elements) that allows you to use strict matching in searches. Example: This searches for `#hashtag`, but returns many posts which are 'similar'. I want to be able to conduct a search which only returns posts which have the exact search phrase. |

A good suggestion indeed. I know Google and vBulletin allow strict searches when quotation marks are wrapped around the text. |

I'd like to bump this as well as I just discovered this by trying to create my own hashtag code. |
