I frequently wish to search for a particular address, such as 114a

I frequently wish to search for a particular address, such as "114A East Street". Even when doing an advanced search for that particular string of characters, I am offered thousands of false hits that may contain the word "a". Is there a way I can tell the search engine I really, really mean that particular string of characters ONLY. Clicking the "Exact search" box does nothing to help.

    If you put quotes around the address as you have in this text, it should search exactly just for that address

    I frequently want to use the search for articles that contain ALL of the listed words only to have pages shown with just one or two of the words listed on the page. Trying to find again pages already viewed using definitive key words FAILS. I am very frustrated by this search engine..
