i cant differentiate between a venue or a keyword in the description of the event without a predecessor to what the user is searching for. I understand that users are used to using a search query by typing a keyword and relevant results come up. but i've used a different approach... by typing a phrase as you would say it when filling the blank "Search for events __________"...

It doesn't have to discriminate between an "in" or a "with" -- I'll do that. When I type "beer", and it gives me no results instead of everything with "beer" in it, it's broken.
When I type in the FULL title and it gives me zero results, it's broken. The first upcoming event is "Block party", and neither that, nor "block", nor "party" yield results.
I don't want "in" party or "with" party, I want everything that says "party".

Yes, so if your site doesn't work that way, guess what's broken? Hint: It's not the users.
Including "with" or "in" as an extra feature is one thing, but requiring it just makes it look like your site's broken.
