Are you aware of the "Tools -> Verbatim" mode?

Yes I am very aware of this.

Can it be set as default?

Verbatim will still include results with other characters between "franciscus xaverius"than a space. Like a ( or a dot. It includes results containing a phrase that ends with Fransciscus. And the next phrase beginning with Xaverius. This is useless when searching ancestors.

I know the service is free, but it would be really cool to be able to search for any (ASCII) string verbatim.

If can be if you add a custom search engine
