I have recently tried the ‘Search’ facility to locate posts on the ‘Special Brigade’ of the Great War. But when I type in both words together, the results which come up are of posts containing both of these words but in separate sentences, which is not what I am looking for (example below).

So I then tried placing the words within inverted commas like this: “Special Brigade”, but this only produced similar results to my first search.

Is there a way of searching that pinpoints the exact combination of words being sought?

With thanks,

It might be a bit late, but you talk about "inverted commas" and it looks as if you have indeed something like that. That is too difficult for a search engine. Just use the bland " (double quote) for both characters.
