The Exact match search algorithm compares the search query to the selected property in the dropdown menu.
The algorithm will search for an exact match, so the query must exactly match the attribute value.
This is mostly used for searching by product numbers like EAN, SKU, ISBN et cetera, but also brand and other attributes.
To make matching more likely, you can remove specific symbols from the search query. For example, a customer could search for 870-88. Removing the hyphen from the query would change the query to 87088.
You can remove the following symbols from search queries:
- ( ) Space
- (/) Slash
- (-) Hyphen
- (,) Comma
- (.) Period
