BUG: Match all forms does not work

Using the search argument term:"The Act of Peter" OR "Coptic Act of Peter" OR "An Act of Peter" OR "Act of Peter" with or without match all forms set in a book search I get the same results - results that include references to a different work "Acts of Peter". How do I exclude the latter i.e. plural title?

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I'm not seeing this

    Which resource(s) are you seeing these hits in?

    That is correct - a phrase in quotes is immune to Match All Forms. "Act of Peter" do not include "Acts of Peter"  when I run the query.

    results that include references to a different work "Acts of Peter"

    If there is an underlying reference from your text search, you can expect variations like that (as with "John" which will find references to the Letters of John). So you need a datatype.

    But it does for me, so I assume it did for others as well.

    I see this is a Bookstore section result - I hadn't checked that and I get the same there

    I wonder if there is some strange difference when searching resources not in our libraries.

    Definitely. Another thread identified an issue with results in Print Books.
