steps to reproduce: 1.Go to https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox 2.Search for "fireencrypter" expected result: Search should list only exact matches when search term is enclosed within double quotes actual result: Search result lists "Fire encrypter"
What is wrong with it? Showing Fire Encrypter when a user searches for "fireencrypter" does not sound like a bad thing. It might be bad for some other search strings, though.

It's a quoted string -- if the code splits out two disparate terms from a quoted string, that seems potentially problematic, for "other strings," as you say.

Krupa/Stephen. Marking as "INVALID". The addon description contains the words "FireEncrypter". For the record, I agree with you in comment #2 that exact matches should be exact matches. However... this will become an issue in the future... for example, Sphinx now internally treats "StumbleUpon" and "stumble upon" as the same thing - regardless of quotes. Also in the future we may do this with other addons. See: bug 517699
