maybe another way to say this is: this is fantastic, keep up the good work. However, can you also PLEASE, add a pure "keyword search" where I can type a keyword and get a list of pages that have that exact word in them? in some cases (which might be the minority of searches, but still very important) I need to search for an exact good old fashioned keyword or phrase (similar to what `find` does except sorted by some magical "page rank" like metric. Like the good old days of google. Maybe this can be a paid feature?!

Hey just posted on another comment, but I'm with you 100%!

You can over-ride the NLP and do literal searches.

/e or ~e force it, but any search with things like +"phrase" or site: etc will skip the AI and we'll *try* to do a literal search. It's not always successful but we're trying to expand coverage with it.

So try:

```/e site:cnn.com +"mars rover"```

for example.

The Search Tools menu on the results panel lets you refine searches, related sites, cached version etc too to help with refining via literal patterns.

Thanks again!
