If I type in the first name of a student or faculty member that is unique, e.g. "Pieter", I would like that word to trigger that exact person. Currently that name comes up about fourth or fifth in the list but I feel it should be the very first one since it is typed exactly as it appears. Hope that makes sense.

Cory Dieterly I have had the same experience, only with book titles in the library catalog.

Adam Sentz @Cory - If you prefer exact matches in library search just check the "Exact matches" check box. Populi will even remember your choice so you don't have to check it each time.

Adam Sentz @Judi - We recently made a change that yields a better result for your example of Pieter. Try it out!

Kim Zea Where would I check the "Exact Matches" check box for student searches? (As described above.)

Adam Sentz @Kim - That is only available in the library search. If you have examples of searches that aren't working in the main Populi Search let us know in a support request and we'll check them out.
