I just tried searching "youtube premium" and I get 14k+ useless results. The results appear to only match one of the two words. I want results for ONLY a full match of what I enter. Also the dropdown of the current search only shows 5 results without scrolling. Please make this priority and fix this. I wish I never updated. This has taken a huge hit to my productivity.

Which version of Session Buddy are you using? Make sure you're on the latest version. Search now filters collections and history, which depending on use case may be easier than using the results dropdown.

With proper search term parsing, metadata queries, and scored results, search is arguably more powerful than it was in v3, but there is definitely room for improvement. Lack of support for quoted search phrases, as you have rightly pointed out, is a good example. Please know that we're aware of the limitations and are committed to continuing to improve search over time.

Do keep in mind that SB v4 was a full rewrite with a hard deadline (due to Chrome deprecations), so some things are not quite the same. We genuinely appreciate your patience while we're working hard to bridge the gaps.

Cheers,
Hans

It's the latest update of the extension. 

How can I make the search results only show results for a full match like "youtube premium"? It shows results matching "youtube" and results matching "premium", which is not at all what I want. Do you understand what I'm trying to explain? I tried searching "youtube+premium" but that doesnt work either. I need to be able to search phrases and not have the results showing anything with just 1 match of one 1 word from that phrase. Unless it matches the entire phrase, PLEASE DONT SHOW IT.  It does also filter collections but, again, mostly clutter and not the exact matching results.

Yep I get what you mean. This is the "lack of support for quoted search phrases" I mentioned in my response.
