Hello All,

I’m trying to search records in Categories module.
And i’m using the array below.

array(
    "session" => $session_id,
    'search_string' => $search,
    'modules' => array(
        $module,
    ),
    'offset' => 0,
    'max_results' => 2,
    'id' => '',
    'select_fields' => array(
        'id',
        'name'
    ),
    'unified_search_only' => true,
    'favorites' => false
);

I’m using this array on the ‘search_by_module’ method.

Every thing works good. But the scenario below not covered.

For suppose i have a category
Men’s Accessories in CRM.

And i’m searching for
Men
That it exsit or not. Then it says this category is already in CRM.

I think there is some LIKE condition attached with it.
but i really want to know what to do to exact match the string all the time.

Thanks in Advance.
