How can I search Firefox Help for a phrase and not get results for the isolated individual words?

Let's say I'm experiencing a situation where the Firefox window always stays on top, unless it is minimized to the task bar--and I want to search Firefox Help for a solution. I search for the phrase "always on top" (with or without the quotes) and get a bunch of results where just "always" or just "top" appear in the text. How can I get results where only the complete phrase appears?
