Searching phrases #567

Open lmrodriguezr opened 2 years ago

lmrodriguezr commented 2 years ago

Hello!

I'm using CrossRef in a few of my applications, but I often come to a wall when I try to search for full phrases. For example, if I want to search for a species name, the API will insist on separating the words and searching for them independently. Is there a way to tell the API I want to search for that precise phrase and not its independent words? I've tried searching in quotes as well as different separators (+, -, _, etc) other than a space, with no success.

Perhaps this is somewhat related to the famous #135, but I'm opening a separate issue because I believe it has different use cases (and it's potentially easier to solve?)

Thanks! Miguel.
