When I search a wikia site, am I redirected to the special search page like this:

"Special:Search?search=[term_or_terms]&fulltext=Search"

Ignoring the fact "&fulltext=Search" is added somehow, clicking the "Advanced" link only allows selecting namespaces to limit your search terms to. The option to perform an exact search as you entered your term(s) is completely missing. This can be good considering spelling errors, but if you want to search for a specific and exact terms you cannot. You might know from other search engines that entering your terms within quotes, ", will make the search engine consider it as a single word/block. It will look like this:

"Special:Search?search='[term_or_terms]'&fulltext=Search" What is the result? No difference at all ! Highly disappointing.

Thus my question - how do you make an exact search on wikia ?
