Examine is a wrapper around Lucene, and the lucene standard analyzer has a list of English 'stop words' that for efficiency purposes it doesn't index, I guess because of their frequency... that a search for 'a' or 'it' or 'the' would be meaningless, when you search for 'the double' therefore the 'the' part is ignored...
The full list of stop words is in this code sample:
"The" seems to be ignored in search
I have a site, with a lot of nodes which name contains "the double".
If I make a search on that term "the double" i get results for "the", but no results containing "the double".
If I then search for "double", I get the expected results that contain "the double" in the node name.
What gives?

There is an explanation of the issue here in the ezSearch repo, for V7
https://github.com/umco/umbraco-ezsearch/issues/23
where one workaround is to remove the stop words from the search terms...
otherwise you could use a different analyser...
