Inaccurate Search Results

I did a forum search for "mail.com", both with and without the quotes. Came back with 769 results. Unfortunately, approximately none of them actually contain the string mail.com.
Is there anything I can do to improve my search?

Here you go. Restrict it to search within topic titles.

Thanks!
However, I see that of the 4 results, only 2 of them have the search string. Why are the other two showing up? (tumblr & yahoo)

Forum software limitation. Because normally a period is a separator character, it will search for "mail" AND "com" separately, not as a single expression.
