[HELP] Search tabs - returning any result instead of exact result

Connor_LeCLaireConnor_LeCLaire Member Posts: 33 PRO
Hello,

I've been trying to find a way to search through the tabs of documents to get exact matches to my query instead of any match. For instance if I search "5/32", it returns items that have 5/32 in the name but also 5/32 in order with any number of letters, numbers, or symbols in between. Here are some of the results the search tabs query returns:

BEARING, THRUST, 5/8IN ID, 1IN OD, 1/8ION THK, WATER RESISTANT, MCM 7532K56
BEARING, SLEEVE, FLANGED, 5/8IN ID, 7/8IN OD, 1/2IN L, PE-REINFORCED PTFE, MCM 1523N25

How can I get this to stop and only return items that have 5/32 without any spaces, numbers, letter, symbols, hieroglyphs, or other things in the search term. I've already tried surrounding with double quotes, single quotes, brackets, etc. I don't care if there are other things in the name, but I want 5/32 not "5xxxx /xxxx 3xx2", something like "xxxxxxxxxxx5/32xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" is fine.

Also it would be worth looking into to making this "any result" an option of the search, but exact matches the default in a future update if the any result way is the default now.
