OPAC: putting search terms in double quotes does not always prevent stemming

Bug Description
According to Evergreen documentation, double quotation marks are supposed to override the stemming algorithm and force an exact search. This does not seem to be working for me as expected.
See: https:/
I searched for titles containing [ “organ” ] with the double quotes and had to go to #8 before I saw a title that met that criterion. I still got a lot of “organic,” “organized,” and “organization.” Basically, I am getting the same results I would expect for [ organ* ]
It does seem to work with the example in the documentation, [ “parenting” ] and [ “parental” ] both work, but [ “parent” ] does not. I still get variants with the root “parent– “.

Yep, those are not doublequotes, as in, the shift-modified character output by the apostrophe key near the Enter key on most QWERTY-layout English keyboards. They're Apple's "smart punctuation" double quotes. Thanks, Apple.
Work seems to be happening on bug #2077586 to address this.
