Query search: Match specific attribute value only if value is matched exactly

driverama · June 1, 2022, 11:58am

Hi,

we search in multiple attributes like modelName, brandName, stockId and so on. There is a problem if we search for a query BMW 5, it finds any BMW that have number 5 in stockId string.

Is there any way to configure specific attribute to only be matched if whole word of a query is equal to that attribute value (e.g. stockId)?

Thanks,
Lukas

Test again the search:

Search the exact sku return item

For name:

If you add this to the name for example. Only exact word matching will return a value.
