1. If I type quotes around the phrase (exact match) it returns nothing... even when I spell it completely and correctly and include all punctuation
2. If I type the phrase with NO QUOTES, then I get back many matches... but 2 Thes 2:1 (even though it contains all of the words and is the most relevant) is the 4th result
I'm seeing the same, using ChurchofJesusChrist.org search. It might be worth sending feedback using the Feedback option at the bottom of the page, while viewing search results. My guess is that it's something related to the footnote letter "a" on the word "by".
