Search Question
Hi,
Probably the dumbest question you'll get today, but how do I search for an exact string of text, without getting hits containing each of the words individually?
Thanks!

you might try it with quotations symbols around the text.
"exact string of text"

This is what I have on my screen. That may be why my suggestion did not help.

The Google search worked, thanks, but I only see the Google search in the web version, not the app.

I use the Advanced Search option under the search pull down. Putting the multi-word phrase I want to search for in quotes works for me. I like many of the other options available there too.
I don't know if that's available in the app version. I stick with the web version.

Same here. Works really well. I rarely use the app since the web version has more functionality.
