I have the same problem. I aim to search for “get_acs.” When I search without the quotes, I get lots of files that include variations on the root word “get” but none that include the string of interest. When I use quotes, I get no search results, even though I confirmed the string is in several files stored on Box,com. When I search for and open these files, I can find the string of interest. 

Also, I first tried to find prior discussion threads as a guide by searching for “how to search files by exact string” in Box support. Box returned over 100 articles that I was expected to sort through. 

Please do not offer misleading services to users. Please do not diffuse “support” across hundreds of files and burden users by asking them to make sense it. Please do not leave open issues stranded for months.
