# Quick Search - Exact Match Operator
## Overview
Quick Search now supports the exact match operator (`=`) at the beginning of your search query. This allows you to search for notes where the title or content exactly matches your search term, rather than just containing it.
## Usage
To use exact match in Quick Search:
1. Start your search query with the `=` operator
2. Follow it immediately with your search term (no space after `=`)
### Examples
- `=example` - Finds notes with title exactly "example" or content exactly "example"
- `=Project Plan` - Finds notes with title exactly "Project Plan" or content exactly "Project Plan"
- `='hello world'` - Use quotes for multi-word exact matches
### Comparison with Regular Search
| Query | Behavior |
|-------|----------|
| `example` | Finds all notes containing "example" anywhere in title or content |
| `=example` | Finds only notes where the title equals "example" or content equals "example" exactly |
## Technical Details
When you use the `=` operator:
- The search performs an exact match on note titles
- For note content, it looks for exact matches of the entire content
- Partial word matches are excluded
- The search is case-insensitive
## Limitations
- The `=` operator must be at the very beginning of the search query
- Spaces after `=` will treat it as a regular search
- Multiple `=` operators (like `==example`) are treated as regular text search
## Use Cases
This feature is particularly useful when:
- You know the exact title of a note
- You want to find notes with specific, complete content
- You need to distinguish between notes with similar but not identical titles
- You want to avoid false positives from partial matches
## Related Features
- For more complex exact matching queries, use the full [Search](Search.md) functionality
- For fuzzy matching (finding results despite typos), use the `~=` operator in the full search
- For partial matches with wildcards, use operators like `*=*`, `=*`, or `*=` in the full search

The _Quick search_ function does a full-text search (that is, it searches through the content of notes and not just the title of a note) and displays the result in an easy-to-access manner.
The alternative to the quick search is the <a class="reference-link" href="Search.md">Search</a> function, which opens in a dedicated tab and has support for advanced queries.
