can phrase search be made to work?

Just tried searching for a specific phrase, but the quotes appear to just get ignored.

This is dependent on the capabilities of each search backend, but primarily Elasticsearch, which currently is searched by allowing the search query as a whole to be tokenized in the same way the documents are. Theoretically, words that appear nearer each other should score higher in relevance. Will investigate if something smarter could be done here.
