I am using the k2 tools/search module.

When I search for "MS27683-62", the search results are not limited to items with the "-62". So the search results are everything that has "MS27683" in the extafields.

Can k2 tools/search module find only k2 items with the exact match for this query "MS27683-62"?

Here is a sample extrafield:

Has anyone run into this limitation with K2 Tools/Search ?

I can't be the only one with extrafield values that have a dash in them.....

Is it even possible to search for an exact match?

For example if I type in "MS27683-62" with the quotes then I get the results that I want.

Otherwise the search results are all items with MS27683 and/or 62.

These are the options as I see it:
1. I am doing something wrong
2. None of the millions of k2 users require exact match searching
3. k2 tools/search cannot do an exact search so I had to buy "K2 Filter and Search Module" extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension-specific/k2-extensions/19333

Did that extension solve your problem? I have been following the thread

Yes and the developer, Andrey Miasoedov, was extremely helpful setting it up and starting me on customizing it to my needs.
