If a dot comes between the search string , it is not returning the proper results. Example : search string ' 0002.AB' Need a result which should list the results that matches the whole word first and followed by others. Need an analyser for that ? ---

Hi, Welcome to community! You can try providing statement in match phrase , give it additional boost and then try to give the string in match statement. So that you will achieve below. > Need a result which should list the results that matches the whole word first and followed by others.` ---
