SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Searching for phrases, is it possible?

Well, this is a situation that happens to me with some regularity. Let's say I want to use the forum search to find a thread or post which I  know for sure to contain the phrase "I went to the blue mall this week". It's a rather specific phrase, and searching for it should net me the thread in question. However, if I did try to do that, I'd just get an error message saying that the search can't be done, because individually, none of the words are longer than 4 letters. Which is true, but I don't want to search (using Google terminology) I +went +to +the +blue +mall +this +week, but "I went to the blue mall this week", which, as a single coherent block of text, is way longer than 4 letters.

So, is it possible to do that?
Obvious troll is obvious. RIP, Bill.
