Inkmesh gives slightly different results for "exact" searches:
('Inkmesh for Book - exact', 'stip_inkmesh.png', 'http://www.inkmesh.com/search/?qs=%22{title}%22+by+%22{author}%22&btnE=Find+Eboo ks','utf-8', None),

Thanks for the suggestion, I agree with you that Google should have quotes in the URLs for sure for far greater matching success. I had tried it in the past but with " instead of %22 so thanks for the "trick" to get it to work
. I will change their urls to use the quotes.
For other websites I think it would have to be a case by case basis - I would guess a number just strip the quotes out anyway. I don't really want to fill the list of default urls with every permutation of exact and inexact if I can help it, "most of the time" an inexact search will still work well enough. Users of the plugin can always add quotes in for other sites or add extra menu entries like you have done above if they feel they want to query both ways.
