Describe the feature you'd like and what it will do

Searches for some terms, including multi-word terms don't list the most obviously relevant results first. There seems to be no preference for exact matches for the input search terms.

Example: Search for "US-Rws". This is the first "word" in the title of a resource. That resource is number 8 in the list of results returned.

Example: Search for "Organic geochemical compositions". This is the beginning of the title of a resource that appears as number 11 in the search results.

Are there ways in Mongo/Atlas to search for whole terms versus individual words in multi-word phrases?
What is it doing now if I enter multiple words in the search box?
What if I put something in quotation marks?
What if I separate terms with commas?
Is there a way to prioritize exact matches over other relevant results?

Why is this feature important?

If I search for something specific that I know appears in the title of a resource, I would expect that resource to be first or very high in the list of search results.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, it can be hard to find some things using search terms,
