| # 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 | ||||
