kohorte started following the question "Phrase matching?" in Filtrbox, Inc.

I hope you fix this issue very soon. My post at getsatisfaction was a little bit longer, because of my huge frustration with the missing quoted phrase search function. -
kohorte reported a problem in Filtrbox, Inc on March 20, 2009 22:04:
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:

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'. -

Ah, now the "archive" appears in the top menue - problem solved -
kohorte shared an idea in Mento on June 22, 2008 16:54:
Rename archive or change concept"You can move less important links to your archive"
What the Fuck?!
I thought - If something is important - I save it in my archive. For reuse in the future.
Now I know I have been fooled - Mento does the exact opposite. The archive is like trash, you even can't see your archive - very disappointing. I don't know what links in the past I marked as "archive", so how can I find them, if I didn't tag them?
My concept idea (and problem).
I try to bookmark nearly everything. Perhaps it could be useful in the future. This is my problem. I do not spend time to tag and categorise all this crap.
I marked the few seemingly important links as "archive". I could also "plus" them, but before I could do that, I have to decide if they are really important (watch 60 minutes video / read 20 pages of text). So I moved them to my archive. Which was an mistake.
