Hi,

I created 2 canvas: canvas1-test and canvas2-test. When I use the text field to search a canvas in the canvas page, with the text: canvas1-test, both canvas are found.

Can someone explain me why the two canvas are found?

Thanks

Hi @m4rk,

If you want to get a unique match, you need to add double quotes: it is the same behaviour across all landing pages (Canvas, Dashboard, etc.) and related to ElasticSearch query.
