Hmm, just noticed that the tooltip help claims that it must always have quotations marks. This makes no sense whatsoever. If the user has to add quotation marks, then they can just type directly in the main search box, rather than use "advanced search".

Having also tried the suggested syntax, it also doesn't seem remotely sensible, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%22brand+of+popcorn%22%2C%22in+North+America%22&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&advancedSearch-current=%7B%22options%22%3A%7B%22phrase%22%3A%22%5C%22brand+of+popcorn%5C%22%2C%5C%22in+North+America%5C%22%22%7D%2C%22namespaces%22%3A%5B0%2C6%5D%7D&ns0=1&ns6=1 .

It finds the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma, probably because the search string contains a comma.
