Hi! I’m using CMS filter for a list of medical specialties, and filtering for “Urology” also displays results for “Ne **urology** ” because of the shared string.

Is there a way to enable exact match?

Here’s the site, using the Specialty filter: [BASS Medical Group - Doctors](https://www.bassmedicalgroup.com/doctors)

Hey @jonathan.saxton! I’m afraid we do not currently support the exact match for text inputs.

If you’d like, we can try integrating some JS to create a custom search bar while keeping everything else Attributes based

Thanks @Support-Luis! I’m actually looking at the select field on the right side, “Specialty”. That’s the one where “Urology” and “Neurology” have the shared string, within the set options.
