Exact phrase match queries #223

Thanks academictwitteR developers for this great package.

I'm trying to build a query to match exact phrases in tweets e.g. "Black Lives Matter" (i.e. rather than tweets containing the words "Black" AND "Lives" AND "Matter" in any order).

There is no example given in the vignette for queries matching exact phrases and the build_query() function suggests that using double-quotes to demarcate a phrase won't be parsed e.g.

build_query(query = ""Black Lives Matter"") Error: unexpected symbol in "build_query(query = ""Black"

I'm making this assumption based on Twitter's documentation: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/tweets/search/integrate/build-a-query

Have I missed something obvious or is there a simple work around here?

Thanks
