Provide a way to do exact matches

Open fabioz opened this issue 12 years ago • 2 comments

Maybe I missed something here, but, is there a way to do exact matches with InstaSearch? (I searched the page: http://code.inf.unibz.it/projects/instasearch/ and didn't find any reference on how to do that).

For that, there are 2 things:

  1. Case-matching

I.e.: if I have a search for "profile", I don't want it to match "Profile".

  1. Match only whole words

I.e.: searching for "profile" I don't want it to find "doProfile" or "profileMe"... sort of what a "\bprofile\b" regexp would do.

I think both of those could be additional options in the search view (close to what the extension filter does), but without it I think the use of InstaSearch becomes very limited.

I would love if instasearch could do exact matches; it's almost an amazing, must-have plugin.
