Search not limiting words in quotes

Search is not limiting words in quotes. SailPoint search functionality should return different results depending on if quotation marks are used around the attribute value if the attribute value is common.

Ex:
attributes.department:“Technology” should return all users within ONLY the Technology department

attributes.department:Technology should return all users in Technology, and any other similar department (like Technology Management, for instance).

The bug I am seeing happen is with the first search, attributes.department:“Technology”, is returning Technology and Technology Management identities.

Frustratingly, this is by design

It is possible to use the .exact keyword, but note that it then makes the search term case-sensitive.

I would read through the documentation on building a search query

I know that @jordan_mandernach is looking for user feedback on Search, so you might reach out to him. He has a Calendly link in this topic
