Agreed. For me, making it so that the search engine ignores -string was one of the biggest set backs.

the search engine ignores -string

Hyphen (-) means you don't want to see this word, while words surrounded by quotes (") means you want these phrases exactly.

Most symbols are also ignored, which is great for an average user but terrible for programmers.
