Override search box "stemming" functionality

When I search for "GUI" it also returns results for "GUY", obfuscating my results of what I'm really looking for.

According to a support rep, the search box "uses 'stemming', which results in a lumping of results for similar-ish words. it's meant to be slightly fuzzy to catch instances of misspellings and other such fun. Sadly, this is the most that we can provide about our Search option".

And : "Sadly, there's no way to 'override' the stemming used for search results".

This request is to please give us a way to override (turn off for a particular search) this stemming behavior.

I understand how people might like it if there are certain things hidden from them in a game or something-- but the discord program itself is not a game... I certainly don't like things being hidden from me. Does Discord think all of their users actually like that? If you're gonna hide true functionality from your users, why can't you at least give us a way to override that stemming crud?

"GUI" is just one basic example of probably thousands of cases where it's perfectly reasonable that someone would want to see results for "GUI" instead of "GUY". (stands for graphical user interface)

SMH...
