Bing: search - matching only exact literal strings?

Question

I use PHP and the Bing API to search for specific domain names. I want the results to match EXACT.

Somehow Bing returns results that do not match exactly.

Searching:

"www.gebouw.nl"

Sometimes I also get results like "www.gprgebouw.nl"

Is there a way to tell Bing to search only for EXACT matching?

Answer 1

Try adding a plus sign to your query. e.g. + www.gebouw.nl, which is% 2Bwww.gebouw.nl when encoding a URL

Answer 2

Can WebSearchOptions = 'DisableQueryAlterations' be the key to this? According to the API documentation, "DisableQueryAlterations" prevents Bing from modifying the query string. Such a change could be made to correct an obvious spelling error in the original query string.
