When performing a standard search through Alfresco Share which does a full text search using afts, does anyone know of a way to search for documents with an exact word? For example, if I knew my document contained the word "accessibility" I'd want a way to find only documents that have that exact word and not one of its alternate forms.
As it stands, if I do a simple search for "accessibility" it will also return documents containing words such as "accessible", or "access". This is nice except when you happen to know the exact form of the word you want. I had hoped the equals operator would do what I'm asking but it appears it doesn't work the way I thought it would reading the docs (https://docs.alfresco.com/5.2/concepts/rm-searchsyntax-exact.html).
I saw in another similar thread that there might be a ticket open for exact term searching not working properly (https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/SEARCH-1585) but it's not publically viewable.
Currently using ACS 5.2.4 / Alfresco Search Services 1.3.0.5.
Thanks,

This is an open issue, exact term searching is not working at the moment.
