Tell HN: I hate your fuzzy search

Not just HN the site, everyone’s fuzzy search sucks. Let me do exact match search. Even if it’s an option I have to dig deep to find.

When I ran a site that had lots of search use I agonized over making search good and never nuked exact match for the sake of some fuzzy matching. I wish others would do the same.
