When I ran a site that had lots of search use I agonized over making search good and never nuked exact match for the sake of some fuzzy matching. I wish others would do the same.
Umm, does HN even have a search?
Almost every site i've ever used the search of supported exact matches by putting the query in quote marks.

Search input box is at the bottom, yes
Although when i tested it just now it did seem to support exact matches using quotes.
Quotes should be enough to trigger an exact search. How we regressed from this is beyond me
Adobe acrobat has "exact match" as part of its document search results, which is amazing
It boggles the mind why this particular wheel keeps getting reinvented in octoganal shapes.
