problem finding certain phrase

I have a strange problem with finding a certain (german) text in my page. On kulturfeste.de a search for "Festival für Freunde" https://kulturfeste.de/suche/?q=festival+für+freunde&submit= doesn't get results, omitting "für" https://kulturfeste.de/suche/?q=festival+freunde&submit= get's beside others the expected result https://kulturfeste.de/feste/festival-fuer-freunde/

The used selectors for $pages->find are

'title|headline|Intro~*=festival für freunde, limit=50, template=fest'

and

'title|headline|body~*=festival für freunde, limit=150, template=veranstaltung,sort=eventTime'

The search text appears multiple times in the relevant fields, it seems not to be the word "für" as possible stopword and not the umlaut 'ü' Now I'm running out of ideas. What else could I check for?

Thanks, but the quotes are added by the template, they are not part of the search term and this wouldn't explain a difference between the search phrases "Festival für Freunde" and "Festival Freunde" (both submitted without quotes)

It does indeed work with the *= operator, but I don't quite understand why and I get more than the wanted results. 

I think, too short can't be the reason, cause the search without "für" works as well another search after "Gesänge der Mönche" where the article "der" doesn't interfere with the result.

I'm on a shared hosting, don't know about a custom config.

But anyway, shouldn't stopwords just be ignored? In the search phrase and the result? Then there shouldn't be a different result searching for "Festival Freunde" and "Festival für Freunde"

To be honest I don't think that stopwords are the problem. I checked this a few days ago and got only an english stopword list. Then I switched to testing different phrases and decided to ask others.

Another try to explain the problem:

I get the same results when searching for "Gesang der Mönche" and "Gesang Mönche" but different when searching for "Festival für Freunde" und "Festival Freunde"

Why?
