Online search results useless when searching strings composed of multiple generic words #809

Description

@liberforce

Simple example:

If I want information about the --build-order option of conan info, I'll have a hard time, as it returns all the results for build, for order, for BUILD_ORDER and, hidden, the result for build-order. When one looks for options that use very generic names, things can get even worse.

This may be a sphinx bug, or configuration problem? Or maybe there are some search quoting options I'm not aware of? I tried single quotes, double quotes, backquotes, but can't find a way to tell the search engine "don't try to be clever and just search this exact sequence of characters".

Searching --source-folder is even worse.
