Hi Members,

I have a query regarding exact match in Hibernate Search.  
I have tried my searching with two types of tokenizers :

1. **White space tokenizer**
2. **Standard tokenizer**

My query is as below :  
org.apache.lucene.search.Query exact\_query = qb.phrase().withSlop(0).onField(“fullRecord”).sentence(input.toLowerCase()).createQuery();  
My analyzer is as below :  
@AnalyzerDef(name = “textanalyzer”, tokenizer = @TokenizerDef(factory = StandardTokenizerFactory.class, params = {  
@Parameter(name = “maxTokenLength”, value = “8000”) }), filters = {  
@TokenFilterDef(factory = LowerCaseFilterFactory.class),  
@TokenFilterDef(factory = DoubleMetaphoneFilterFactory.class, params = {  
// @Parameter(name = “encoder”, value = “DoubleMetaphone”),  
@Parameter(name = “maxCodeLength”, value = “10”),  
@Parameter(name = “inject”, value = “true”) }), })  
@AnalyzerDef(name = “WithWhitespaceTokenizerFactory”, tokenizer = @TokenizerDef(factory = WhitespaceTokenizerFactory.class), filters = {  
@TokenFilterDef(factory = LowerCaseFilterFactory.class),  
@TokenFilterDef(factory = PhoneticFilterFactory.class, params = {  
@Parameter(name = “encoder”, value = “Metaphone”),  
@Parameter(name = “maxCodeLength”, value = “20”),  
@Parameter(name = “inject”, value = “true”)  
}),  
})

```
@Field(termVector = TermVector.WITH_POSITION_OFFSETS)
@Analyzer(definition = "textanalyzer")
@Field(name = "fullRecord_forWildcards", analyzer = @Analyzer(definition = "WithWhitespaceTokenizerFactory"))

@Column(name = "FullRecord")
private String fullRecord;'

```

**Search String** : \*\* **ROW HIGHER**

Expected Result : Only rows which have exact match as **ROW HIGHER** should be returned.  
i.e, **ROW HIGHER, 2, ROW HIGHER, 2, STR, LONDON**

Getting Output :  
All of these three rows mentioned below :  
**ROW HIGHER, 2, ROW HIGHER, 2, STR, LONDON**  
**HIGHER ROW, HIGHER ROW, FORE STREET, KINGSAND, CORNWALL, PL10 1NL**  
**HIGHER ROW, HIGHER ROW, FORE STREET, KINGSAND, CORNWALL**

**Note** : I have tried Standard & White space tokenizers both. In both of the scenario I am getting same results as output.  
I also have tried using an another field with no analyzer on it like this.  
**@Field(name = “exact\_fullRecord”, analyze = Analyze.NO)**

Please Suggest a solution to achieve this.  
Your help would be highly appreciated !

for exact match you do not required to tokenize it (other wise it will create multiple tokinizer based on punctuation marks or with white space )  
**@Field(name = “exact\_fullRecord”, analyze = Analyze.NO)**  
this should work perfectly for exact match
