v. 26 Search for exact phrase maybe broken?

I may not be recalling correctly, but it seems to me that in previous versions when using search and enclosing a phrase in quotes would render only verses where that exact phrase was used. It doesn't seem to do that now. It gives any verse where all the words in the phrase appear in whatever order.

    It is doing that for me as below:

    A screenshot would help us.

    "spirit god"  will return  "spirit God" in ESV unless you selected [Match case].

    "spirit-god"  will not return  "spirit God", though. It requires an exact match, so you need "spirit-God" in ESV (this is different to L9).

    It gives any verse where all the words in the phrase appear in whatever order.

    "Letters in the Greco-Roman world"  only returns results in that order, and is only affected by [Match case].

    Well, I feel stupid now... Somehow, the results filter was on Fuzzy instead of Passages... Sorry for the post!
