Is it possible to search for phrases in /2/open_events?  I'd like to search for "swim bike run" as a phrase (those three words in that order).  I don't simply want all results that have "swim" and "bike" and "run" (via text=swim+AND+bike+AND+run, or text=swim+bike+run&and_text=true), I want results with the specific phrase "swim bike run".

I tried using text="swim+bike+run" (that is, enclosing my terms in double quotes), but it does not work as I hoped.

I guess I'm looking for clearer documentation on how to use the text parameter.  Can we employ boolean logic in it?

Hi, similarly for group search, is it possible to search for a phrase (words in a given order), not just that all words exist in the searched text?
