Question
I encountered a problem where a Select field refers to another table with many values that have similar names, like '12 Name', '32 Name', and so on. The search does not work by exact match, and when there are many values, the desired one is simply out of selection range. How can I create a strict filter? Thank you.
Answer
In Selects and Filters by column, Search Modes are available. If you enter =: value in the search window, it will mean a search for an exact match.
Available modes:
~~: β this is the default mode, and you don't need to enter this combination of symbols before the search string. Nitrogen (20 account) will be found if you enter Nit 20.
!~~: or !: β default mode with exclusion. If you enter !: Nit 20, it will show everything except Nitrogen (20 account) and similar.
~: β space as a character. Nitrogen (20 account) will be found if you enter ~: trogen (20.
!~: β exclude + space as a character.
=: exact match of the entire value. Nitrogen (20 account) will be found if you enter =: Nitrogen (20 account).
!=: β inverted exact match.
^: β value starts with the search value. Nitrogen (20 account) will be found if you enter ^: Nitrogen or ^: Nitrogen 20.
!^: β inverted.
^~: β value starts + space as a character. Nitrogen (20 account) will be found if you enter ^: Nitrogen (20.
!^~: β inverted.
