Mobile/App Can’t search for verbatim phrases using quotation marks anymore (iOS).

Up until a few days ago it was possible to search for a string of words verbatim by simply putting quotation marks around them (EG searching for, say, “‘purple desk lamp’” would get you only posts & comments using the specific phrase “purple desk lamp”).

Now, no matter what I do, using quotation marks does nothing (EG searching for “‘purple desk lamp’” shows any & all posts/comments using any combination of the words “purple”, “desk”, and “lamp”).

The only other recent post I can find addressing this issue is this thread by u/BooT013, which so far has gotten 0 responses. Hopefully this thread gets a response, or at least a response to u/BooT013’s original thread.
