Hi, people!

I need to search my database for the exact word let's say: "Essay". I checked radio button "find exact word" and push SEARCH.

The result: search returned with 15 links containing "Essay" and 20 links without that word. Thouse 20 trash links are spoiling every search. That was an example, i got 40-50% trash links while searching anything with help of "find exact word". How can i get rid of it? I need only EXACT words. Frown

How can i get rid of them? Please, help me out.

Best regards,
Dave

Make sure the word essay does not appear in the URL or other fields that have a search weight.

Cheers,

Alex
