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,
Neil

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

Try something like this:
For example, the following query will match running but will not be tokenized. If you are using stemming it might not match anything.
=running
For the cm:name field, which is in the index as both tokenized and untokenized, it will use the untokenized field. For example, =part will only match the exact term "part". If you use =part* it will match additional terms, like "partners". If there is no untokenized field in the index, it will fall back to use the tokenized field, and then, with stemming/plurals, it would match.

Okay, thanks for the clarification and for making that ticket publically available to view assuming you just did that (I swear I wasn't able to view it this morning).

Yes, that was private. I opened the ticket yesterday.
