Current Behavior:When a user searches for a term using double quotes (e.g., "AI") within the Project module's Recommendation Panel — which is expected to return only exact matches — the system currently returns results that include partial word matches and case-insensitive variations. For example, searching for "AI" in quotes also returns results containing words like "training," "mail," and "retail," where "ai" appears as part of a larger word. The keyword is also highlighted within these partial matches, making it difficult for users to distinguish true exact matches from partial ones.
The current behavior in the Content Library appears to be more aligned with expected exact match behavior, making the inconsistency between the two modules more apparent to the user.
Expected Behavior:When a user wraps a search term in double quotes (e.g., "AI"), the search should return only results where the term appears as a standalone, exact word match — not as a substring of a larger word. This is the standard and widely understood behavior of quoted/exact search across most search interfaces and tools.
Inconsistency Noted:The behavior differs between the Project Recommendation Panel and the Content Library, suggesting that the search logic is not uniformly applied across modules. Aligning the behavior across both modules would improve consistency and user experience.
Proposed Solution:Update the exact/quoted keyword search logic in the Project Recommendation Panel to return only standalone word matches when double quotes are used, excluding results where the search term appears as a substring of a larger word.
