URL searchView - how to find documents whose fields values equal a specified value

hi,

i need to search a view for documents where their ‘company’ field value equals that chosen by the user. I have done this by using the searchView URL query and this works fine however i have a problem. this is due to the fact that some companies contain the names of other companies. for example there is one company called GDH, and another called GDH International. When the user searches for GDH, the search returns results for both companies. so what i need, is a way to search the field for exactly what the user enters. any ideas?!?

thanks in advance

Use " around the field value:

Field CompanyName=“GDH International”

this should work fine at least in 6.5.1

Why not use an embedded Single Category View, where the category is the company name, and the formula used is the user’s input.

That way it will only find documents which match the input exactly
