If you want exact phrase matching, you need to use quotes. Search for "good friend" instead of good friend.

I know that (ordinary users do not know it) and so just in case asked.
Now I am looking for a solution how to create a search form with checkbox “exact match” – where the user search in the address bar will be added to quotes

old
/?s=good+friends

new “exact match” search
/?s=”good+friends”

—————
without plugin – sentence and exact – working, but I like relevanssi and I want to continue to use it

Create a pre_get_posts filter function that adds quotes around the search term when the checkbox is set, it’s simple as that.

That’s right?

in searh form
```
<input type="checkbox" name="exact-match" value="1" />
</form>
```
in Functions
```
function search_exact_match($query) {	
	if ($query->is_search && isset( $_GET['exact-match'] )   ) {
		$exact_match = '"' . get_search_query( s ) . '"';
		$query->set( 's', $exact_match) ;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'search_exact_match');
```

Yes, that’s how – though it may be a good idea to check if there are any quotes in the search query before adding your own, multiple quotes may break the search.

Also, get_search_query() is escaped with esc_attr(), that may be a problem. Probably better to use $query->query_vars['s'].

not working with ” ‘ ” – not found
```
function search_exact_match($query) {	
	if ($query->is_search && isset( $_GET['exact-match'] )   ) {
		$exact_match = '"' . esc_attr( get_search_query( ) ). '"';
                $query->query_vars['s'] = $exact_match;
                //  $query->query_vars['s'] = esc_attr($exact_match);
                //  $query->query_vars['s'] = '"' . $exact_match . '"';
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'search_exact_match');
```
