1.3.4.3.2.7.  Strict search!

For a strict search [Strict search], place an exclamation mark (!) at the end of the desired term.

Condition: The result may only contain what was entered (apart from spaces or a separator such as a period). The strict search [Strict search] tolerates Stemming [Strict search] [17].

Execute the strict search [Strict search] as a variable search only.

Examples:

  • A search with

    WS=Steel

    for example, also finds "Stainless steel".

    If you only want to find "Steel", use the strict search [Strict search].

    WS=Steel!

  • If, on the other hand, you only want hits with "Stainless steel", e.g. you want to exclude hits with "Steel" alone, then combine Phrase search and Strict search.

    WS="Stainless Steel"!

[Note]Note

If the strict search [Strict search] is to be applied to a combination of several terms, it must be combined with the phrase search.

[Note]Note

Running a strict search [Strict search] across all catalogs may take a little longer!
