Thanks Ozzo for raising this...
I want to add (in order to facilitate improvement, NOT to complain) that you can't search for a string within "quotation marks" in the forum: it just treats each word separately as if the quotes weren't there. That makes it particularly unhelpful if, as Ozzo pointed out, each of your words is too common. For example, you may remember someone using the precise phrase "get the girl", but if you search for that, it returns nothing at all.
Interestingly, the full-string feature works perfectly well on the main site, where in fact the search feature seems extremely well engineered—search "get the girl" on that and it returns dozens of articles with that exact phrase. It's just the forum where things fall down a little.
