I suggest adding the possibility of searching for exact matches with quotation marks, and also to ensure that it works with the quotation marks that the default keyboard on iOS has.

For example, I want to search for “Irish Setter” and only see results that include those two words next to each other like that.




The search is powered by Elasticsearch. We want to support the full power of elastic’s query language, but so far haven’t found a great way to prevent overly intense (or malicious) queries and still allow arbitrary queries—love to hear from Elastic experts out there. Exact match on multiple words seems possible though.


Here is an example of the "Irish Setter" query: https://open.quiltdata.com/search?q=irish%20%2B%20setter

You would type "irish + setter" in the search box.


Thank you :)


You can do that :) See here for search syntax https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/... (there is a faint link under the big search bar). Let us know how that works for you.
