The problem here is simply solved by looking for _"app "_ (with a space behind it and in quotation marks"). This gives you the following url: `/search?q="app%20"`

But for some reason on our forum that does not work; it now gives me all the results for where the search-string as well as quotation marks appear and not just the search-string itself.  
Note also the double quotation marks in **`16 results found for ""dn1 ""`** , which it does not do in Meta.  
We are still running a slightly older version: v1.9.0.beta2 +27 but could that explain the difference?
