Research direction

The issue names Craft CMS and the .search() entry point, but no documentation file or test. Start by locating the existing page that explains search queries, then determine where guidance for user-supplied values belongs. Done should be clear documentation with an example covering the reported interpolation and grouping problem.

Craft CMS

Description

When passing a user-supplied value to .search(), interpolation will often misbehave without carefully managing quotes and term grouping.
