I'm not able to reproduce this bug, maybe I'm not interpreting it right. Could you please give more specifics about it?: * Are you searching for "Filename" or "Content"? * Can you give an example of the exact term your searching for (where do the "" go)? * What does exactly means "search is not possible" (no results, crashing, etc) Thanks!

The Dolphin search function doesn't let me to get the documents where a sentence of 2 or more words are present when I select the searching by CONTENT. It works just with one word.
Created attachment 129083 [details] Search for two words If you mean searching for a whole sentence enclosing it in quotes, the search engine does not support that, since it uses an indexed search by single words. Otherwise, searching for any number of words in documents (but not on a fixed sentence), works fine for me.

in a nutshell suppose you have file: one two three.jpg searching "one two" will find the file searching "one three" will gives you nothing these means dolphin only do linear search and not a word combination while these are commonly supported in gtk file managers like pcman,thunar,nemo,nautilus,etc this feature is really usefull and had greater flexibility to quickly search+filter the exact files user want to find. linear search is very accurate but very inflexible, just a small typo or you forgetting the exact filename and you will never find the file. please raise this awareness to developer.
