CintaNotes Forum

When "exact search" is activated i can search for "notes" and find notes containing text "CintaNotes". I think the intention is reverse, that is displaying the status in the menu is wrong.

Well, I can see your point. I'm not a native English speaker and this might be the problem here.
"Exact search" really was itended to mean "Search also inside of words".
So we have two kind of searches: one is slower (because it can't use the full-text index) and returns more results, the other one is faster and returns fewer results (uses the full-text index, but works only from the word boundaries).
So which one of them would you call "exact", really? )
Maybe you could suggest a better name?

Hi Alex,

simple problem - no easy answer.

Possible solutions:

1.) [X] beginning of word only (faster)
- You would have to revers logic (use NOT internally in your code)
- german: Nur Wortanfang (schneller)

2.) [X] text containing searchtext (slower)
- Simple, because renaming text only
- german: Suchtext enthalten (langsamer)

3.) full-text search (slower)
- Simple, because renaming text only
- german: Volltextsuche (langsamer)
- My favorite!

I understand that technically #3 is not a fulltext search in a sense of using the full-text index. However, it is fully understandable out of the box. At least to me

Or maybe just "Search also inside of words"

Bingo Noddy! ))

In that case the german translation would be:
"Suche auch innerhalb von Wörtern" or maybe a little shorter
"Suche auch in Wörtern" but less clear to understand.

Thanks, Thomas!

To tell the truth I never liked the term "exact search" because if this search mode was exact, the other was "not exact" i.e. somewhat broken. For the translation in my language ages ago, I chose the term "accurata" which in english would be accurate, precise, I think. It was the best I could pick up at the time.

Here I've outlined how I see the search function in future.
Let's continue discussion there, as it will also define how to rename the menu item.
