Purpose: In current implementation, exact phrase searching is not supported in basic search, and though it is a search modifier in both advanced search and query search, fuzzy logic/word-stemming is applied. We need to support the ability to perform a true exact search in all three query types.

*Note: It was determined that word-stemming is applied if the language of the record is “English”. In order to remove this behavior, we would need to change the type of field from multi-lang to keyword.

10

For Keyword search, when query contains both terms within quotes and terms outside of the quotes:

  • The terms in the quotes need to be found as an exact phrase in at least one field
