<p>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). </p> <p>Putting the search to quotation marks gives the exact one result. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p>
