Global or Instant Search Exact Match Only

Using either the layer search or instant search, I am unable to return exact matches.

 

It seems from the API documentation that this should be possible:

 

class SearchQuery

 

geocortex.essentials.SearchQuery

 

Represents search query parameters for a Geocortex Search.

 

 

 

As you can see one of the parameters is "contains" it is either true or false.  Default is true, which allows partial matches.  I want 'false' to only allow exact matches.

 

Anyone know which file this parameter is located in so I can make this change?

 

Is it even possible to have the global search return exact matches?

 

Thanks,

  I'm trying to do this as well. And I saw that in the documentation. Did you figure out what file needs to be edited?

  Hi Rob,

   

  That documentation is for the API, if you were creating custom code it would be possible.  The out-of-box search always uses LIKE.  There is a request to add this ability as a setting in Manager (GVH-9341), but the idea has not yet been implemented.  As a workaround, you could create a workflow to do the search and in the QueryTask of the workflow, you could customize the search to your exact needs.
