Can't search by exact phrase

It seems that I can't put a phrase in quotes and search for that exact phrase. Is that really not available or am I missing something? I tried searching for a two word phrase in quotes which means something very specific, but I got every instance of either word - even related words with different spellings. Surely this is a fundamental search requirement? Is there a different syntax rather than quotes?

Improve search specificity - too fuzzy

Currently, if I type Nick into the search box, it pulls up neck, sick and kick-off. Putting quotes around Nick does nothing. I appreciate the option to have fuzzy search, but I rarely want this. This makes searching almost useless, which is very disappointing because one of my main reasons for abandoning OneNote was the awful search capabilities. At bare minimum, I should be able to search for a specific word or phrase without Capacities pulling up everything remotely similar.

At the moment, there's no additional search syntax for exact matches. But we add this to the improvements ticket for search. Thanks for sharing.

We'll look into it, thanks.
