Refining Search With Quotation Marks Doesn't Work
One of the ReadMe files on the desktop implies that, like Google, if you type a search term between quotation marks, the search engine will search for that complete phrase, as opposed to merely treating the words as seperate search terms.

But it doesn't work that way!

*** SPOILERS AHEAD***

As a test, I typed in "wind and the rain" in quotation marks and got no results. When I remove the quotations, I get the 2 guitar videos where she sings. I've checked to make sure, the lyrics she uses is definitely that specific phrase, so searching for that phrase, in quotations, should return the guitar videos.

*** SPOILERS END ***

I can't help but feel like this bug is preventing me from getting access to some of the videos I'm yet to see.

Same issue.

I have the same problem and I'm using a Windows 7 machine. In a nerdy attempt I have tried to copy-paste different quotation marks from the ASCII table, it didn't make any difference.

Has anyone figured it out yet?
Was someone able to make a refined search?

I'm pretty sure you finished the game since last year but for those still playing, you have to use inverted coma, like this : ' and no quotation mark like this : "

That isn't working for me, either. I've tried: ' (single inverted comma's) and: '' (double inverted comma's) and: " (shift & 2), and none work! I tested this by adding the tag "I am love" to two video's, and "i am not love" to one other video. When I search "I am love" (using any of the three options I mentioned before), all three video's come up in the results. If it worked, then it should only bring up the two "I am love" tags and not "I am not love". Any other idea's?

Has anyone figured this out? I'm surprised not more people are talking about it. The refined function just doesn't work.
I'm not going to play this game if the most basic functionality is broken

I really wish this issue would be sorted out. It's a big deal to me :(
I would be satisfied just knowing how the search function actually works.

If you use the "inverted commas" mentioned in the readme file, the search finds clips where the WHOLE text matches what is said in the clip. For example, searching for "Yes" would retrieve clips where she the only thing she says is "Yes", but it would not retrieve clips where she says "Yes, I know"
