Bing: search - match only exact literal strings?

Question

I'm using PHP and the Bing API to search for certain domainnames. I want only the results that are an EXACT match.

Somehow Bing returns results that do not match exactly.

When I search for :

"www.gebouw.nl"

I sometimes also get results like "www.gprgebouw.nl"

Is there a way to tell Bing to search only for EXACT matches?

Answer 1

Try adding a plus sign to your query. e.g. +www.gebouw.nl which is %2Bwww.gebouw.nl when url encoded
