When using text filter, how to match the whole word?
For example, I am searching for comments related to "fee" but when I search for "fee", it returns a lot of comments containing "feel" or "coffee". How do I achive whole word match using text filter?
Hi @CrossroadsGRP ,
Based on my research, Text Filter Visual is designed to search the related items, maybe we can try to use Smart Filter by OKViz custom visual to meet your requirement

@CrossroadsGRP I don't think it has a setting to exact match. May be you want to look for another search visual from market place, not sure if there is one exists to meet your needs.
