#803 full text search - exact phrase

[wataru]

Hello, I'm not sure what kind of full-text index Kiwix is using - does the index record the location of the word in an article? I'm asking because if the index does record the location of the word, it should be possible to do an exact phrase search, which now it couldn't. For example, to search for articles containing only the exact phrase "big apple", the index must record the location of 'big' and 'apple' and search for exact phrase will only return results where 'big' and 'apple' are adjacent. It would be really nice to have 'exact phrase' search capability to filter out thousands of un-related articles containing the words but not containing the phrase.

We do not want to do that because this would make the fulltext index even more heavy.
