XF 2.2 Search forums - single word

[Jon12345]

I have created a search forum where I want it to display any thread that has the word Troll in it. But when I use Troll in the search box, it also shows threads which have the word controlling.

How do I set it so it only finds the word Troll?

The search is a basic *<whatever string>* search on the title field. It's not using the search system or any system which relies on word-based tokenization, so there isn't really a specific way to do that as it stands.

I have the same problem and it's frustrating. A search forum with the word lectric (which is a brand name) shows results with electric in the title. A search forum with the word GT (which is a brand name) shows results with strength in the title.

Is it possible to add an exact match to the search forums feature?

@AndyB Does your plugin work with a "Search Forum" type node which is created in the Admin area? https://xenforo.com/community/threa...-and-dev-team-news.181244/page-9#post-1515086
