Add "Use Exact Search by default" option to Select-dropdown component

When using Select dropdown component in a form, we have encountered several issues when the search does not give correct result. This might happen when searching by name with multiple words in it (eg. long account name). 

Putting the search to quotation marks gives the exact one result. 

It might be useful to have a feature that, when enabled, will use exact search by default. In practice, wrap the search with quotation marks before applying search.

We have received complaints from end-users for not finding the account name because of this. Not all users know that one can do exact search with quotation marks.
