A very common trick to get karma (I've seen in many QnA forums) is to answer and target only new posts, also unanswered posts and un-accepted hi-voted posts too. And normally the first answer will be the best one. It will get highest upvotes and is pushed to the top faster. It also hides new answers from reaching the top.
If he does this more often he can easily unlock badges, gain karma/reputations and move up fast.
This is a big downside of the system, if his intentions aren't really good.

To search exact full words eg: Say 'feedback form' use - "feedback form" in Search; You should get all threads which has the phrase "feedback form" together.
