How can I specify to only find what I searched for?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I am trying to find info on the Catholic Jesus Prayer. So I went to the search and typed "Jesus Prayer" in quotes, but I am getting "Jesus' prayer" and even "Jesus, prayer."

Is there a way to clarify that I am only looking for the results of what I typed?

Turn off "match all forms" i.e. what is pointed at (-ed)

Your results should be heavily biased towards Orthodox and Eastern Rite Catholic resources.

Hi @MJ. Smith, that had been my recollection also, but I can't find that icon anywhere. It is probably just staring at me, but I don't see it. Here is what it looks like on my end.

You would need to switch to a Books search.

Hi @Aaron Hamilton,

Thanks for clarifying that. I do have two questions though. First, when I switched to book view and selected it, I am still getting "Jesus' prayer" and stuff. Is that the case on your end also?

Second, if I am understanding correctly, if I want an exact search, I need to search each section one by one and the exact search does not work on "All." Is this correct?

Precise search does work in All search, but a Books search will give you a few more options. I believe punctuation is ignored in precise search, even with "Match all forms" disabled.

Hi @Aaron Hamilton, ok, thanks for clarifying this.
