Is there a way of making Search be for exact string match?

When I generate a help system (RoboHelp 7), and search on, say, "contact type", the system returns a list of topic links of topics that contain the word "contact" or the word "type". What I'd like is for it to do as PDF search does and return only topics that contain the complete string "contact type".

I can't find a setting for doing this among the RoboHelp HTML options. Is it possible to do just with a setting? Or would one have to do some customizing involving utility calls or something like that?

I do not know how this works for WebHelp, but for HTMLHelp, searching for phrases is simple:

Use single or double quotes or round brackets:

'find this'
"find this"
(find this)
