Hi,

 could you please fix search so it includes space after text. For example, if I want to search for title that contains word ‘Free’ I want to be able to type it with space at the end (‘free ‘) so the results show only titles that contain word ‘free’ but not ‘freedom’ or ‘freeway’ for example. I remember that this used to function just like I described but in recent releases that space is ignored so if I type ‘free ‘ or ‘free’ it’s same thing. 
 

note: the space after word in search should dismiss punctuations and include it in results, for example ‘free!’ should be shown when search is ‘free ‘.

So you want to be able to search for spaces? it's common for this to be ignored in search engines. I'm not even sure it's really possible because the search engine is going to break it up into words.

No, it is not true that it is common for this to be ignored in search engines. Many apps on my iPad have this possibility when searching, Infuse for example. In the attachment you can see that in App Store app example... So I would certainly say it is possible. (I am almost sure that this was possible in emby at one point)

Whether or not spaces get searched for, it is not unknown to have an option for "whole words only", which deals with punctuation and spaces equally.

Yes whole word options would make sense.
