Search Function

I'm new to this App Sheet, is there a way for the App Search Function to show only whatever the user inputted? not fragments. like for example, the current or default function of search right now is if i have a data/cell "Iamanoob123", and if the user search "noob" or "123" or "ob12" or whatever, the app will show the result even if not complete.  if possible, i want the search function to search only the exact user inputted word versus the cell. Thanks in advance.

If you set the column as a searchable, yes it will find that row.

There are no options available on the Search function to do "exact" matching.

You might be interested in Search Filtering.  If you tap the Search icon AND have columns set as Searchable, you will see Search Filter button appear. See images below.

For columns set with choice lists (Ref, Enum, ENUMLIST, etc), you will see those choices presented in the Search Filter.  In this way you can perform "exact" matching.
