filter accuracy and precision (no exact filtering, no phrase search)

Usually, when I want to find exactly what I want, I search with " " double quotes for the exact wording or phrase, like "Ron Conway" if I don't want to find something about 'con-way' or 'John Horton Conway'.

In my case. Filtrbox turns out to be completely useless. I'm searching for 'trendone' and NOT 'trend one'. The words 'trend' and or 'one' could be mentioned in the article, but NOT as the phrase 'trend one'

With Google I can create the filter:

Find articles about:
"trendone"

that should not contain:
"trend one"

Thats it. I'm happy.

With filtrbox I can not search for the exact content I'm looking for, even though I know how I could do it, but the filters don't work / are technically not advanced enough.

Sorry, results like these are totally useless for me:

- Spring 2009 Fashion Trend: One Shoulder Tops and Dresses
http://www.ssasychic.com/fashion/spri...

- (...) the world is undergoing a cooling trend”... one likely to cause
http://www.fromtheheartland.org/index...

- (...) but is the new trend one resurgence too far?

- (...) teaching roles my answers will trend one way

Look at wikipedia. They support phrase search, fuzzy search and wildcard (at the end and! at the front):

phrase search: "conway"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:...

fuzzy search: conway~
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:...

wildcard (end): conw*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:...

wildcard (front): *onway
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:...

This is what I'm looking for, as a information professional. Precision! Quality people pay money for.

I really like the ui and filtrbox as a free web software in generell, but at the moment I can't recommend your service, because of this major problem (no phrase search) what I would call a 'must have', 'basic function'.
