More than one request has been made to get quoted strings in queries, which would be very useful, without any feedback from developers. The website is still there, however it seems the developer have dumped the code and forgot about it.

You just responded to the developer.

I use SearchYC all the time; it works great.

I agree quoted strings in queries would be nice. There are some technical challenges in handling mixed queries where some terms are quoted and others are not, though.

Gosh, Her Majesty The Developer! Er... th-thanks for a-answering...

;-)))))

Jokes aside, thank you very much for developing SearchYC and making it available.

What would you think about adding a FAQ section where - among other things - you explain the "quoting issue" has indeed been considered, but dismissed because of difficult implementation? I guess every web-surfer has got used to quoting in searches, therefore not having it leaves him baffled.

Cheers.
