Searching for just AT&T gives entirely irrelevant results. #244

If you search for AT&T, then it gives entirely irrelevant results:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=AT%26T&sort=byPopularity&type=all

If we put double quotes, then it works: "AT&T"

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=%22AT%26T%22&sort=byPopularity&type=all

I think the search should match acronyms exactly.
