If you get zero results, you'd probably see the mistake prettty fast, right?

I imagine most often (like 90%+ of cases) when one searches for phrases they would be a result of copy-pasting from another source, so handling this case in a special way would just not be worth the effort.

What's up with the extreme estimats?

And if you get 100s results instead of 0?

And what if it's not 90%, but 50%? It's definitely wrong for me, I most often use it to exclude irrelevant results, and I'd imagine it's also wrong in general case for such a targeted search engine

The "effort" is using the same typo detection algorithm you use for non-quoted search to display the same warning

Also the benefit of a warning is that you can press a correction link to automatically fix and restart search, which is better UI

If you were a paying customer you could submit this idea in the forums and someone will actually look into it. I have sent in a few ideas and I think most have been accepted and fixed/implemented within a few weeks.

Gladly this company is a bit broader minded and accepts valuable ideas from a broader group of people
