If I search for the same word twice, understand so

Searching

Code: Select all

tora tora tora
without remembering the quotes should still find the movie, and avoid restoration.mp4 . Not a common situation but I don't see any downsides! :)

I will consider an option to find the same word twice.
Thank you for the suggestion.

I have been hit by this many many times as well :))
Never thought to make a feature request though

aside from quotes, you could do,
tora?tora?tora
or
tora*tora*tora

& while potentially overly broad (the latter in particular), might be sufficient,
depending.


(as far as some switch that considers two of the same words as literal,
i'd think that a rather odd ability, & i'd simply go for the quotes.)

It can be useful beyond simple repetition where quotes can help.

For example, searching [the the beast] should match "The story behind Beauty and the Beast.mp4" but not "Beauty and the Beast.mp4" because a word repeated verbatim more than once means the user wants the repetition to count.
