Exact Search

Hi ​@yvonne !

I hope you are doing well! Thanks again for your great feedbacks and ideas ! Have you tried the new search engine ? 

I hope it answers to your needs !

Thank you ​@josephinerohner however it still doesn’t operate the way I expect.

Can you do a search using park or parking to get an ‘exact’ match for either option without bringing in the other results.  Even using a Title filter and including quotes for “parking” I get park and vice versa.

Hi ​@yvonne ,

Can you share the concerned datasets, few screenshots and the behavior you expect so we can better investigate ? 

Thanks in advance

Best

It doesn’t work in the current experience (legacy) either.  The expectation is that if I do a title:”parking” that only the highlighted datasets should show (first).  The result for Park Locations and Park Barbeque locations should be a lot lower in terms of a “match”.

(It is somewhat expected if you search for title:“park” you may get the parking and park results.)

Hi ​@yvonne,

Thanks for your last example. The catalog search reduces English words to their root, so "parking", "parks" and "park" are all stored as "park" internally. That's why you get both park and parking datasets with your search.

To get a more "exact" match as you describe, you can use the #startswith function in the search bar:

#startswith(title, "Parking")

This returns only the Parking datasets. To get only the Park datasets, use "Park " with a trailing space.

Note that it is case sensitive and only matches the start of the title.

Best,
