Bing Search – Quotation Marks Not Working

bing

The query "moscow is a beautiful city" does not return any results containing the exact search phrase (compare to Google's response). Is it a bug in Bing and are there any workarounds?

The problem is in the market parameter.

See the Bing API 2.0 documentation:

The market parameter is optional. If the parameter is not specified, the API will attempts to determine an applicable market through the use of logic such as the IP address of the request, cookies. and other elements.

Compare two results for the same query using different market option values: en-US vs ru-RU. Each result on the first page of the answer for the en-US market contains the exact query string, while for ru-RU no result does.
