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://docs.evergreen-ils.org/docs/latest/opac/using_the_public_access_catalog.html#stemming

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– “.
