Yuck. Thanks for your report, that's quite helpful. Someone recently
reported the same thing, but didn't provide any details, so I couldn't
reproduce it. They sent it to me personally, so it didn't end up in
Jitterbug.

Currently, the only way to detect a syntax error is to start parsing it
and discover a problem. This is one of the drawbacks to the current code.

When I first put in the phrase code, it was supposed to turn off fuzzy
matching inside the phrase. It's entirely possible this has been messed up
along the way. My thought was this: if a user wants a phrase search, they
don't want a fuzzy phrase search. Do others think this makes sense?
I consider this a showstopper, so I'll see if I can fix this again. A
truly good fix will require a cleanup along the lines Andrew and I
discussed before. That will have to wait until after 3.2.0b2.
