[Pearls Before Swine]

The quotes are the problem. “Thaddeus McCotter” resigns Congress searches for his name (in quotes) as well as for “resigns” and “Congress”, and presents the most likely candidates, whereas putting everything inside the quotes searches only for the specific way you’ve typed it.

I don't know if neverdem had quotes in his search; he used italics in his comment. I used the quotes in my reply because it was already in italics.

But your're right about quotes making the problem worse.
