That's done for the Parts Tracker File scan (https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptscan.cgi). Multiple words are now supported and all need to exist in a file for it to be listed inthe search results. Double quoted phrases are supported and need to exist as entered. The two forms may be combined.
The search box in the Parts Tracker page header works slightly differently. If the entered word (xxxx) exists in the unofficial library (as xxxx.dat) the detail page for that file is returned. I guess now that the Parts Tracker allows the display of detail pages for official parts, it should also check for a precise match in the official library. At present if there is no unofficial file, the search term is passed to ptscan. It would be possible to make that script work differently in this use case, but it is not clear to me what it should do.
