Exact match in slicer search

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to create a postcode search (UK) and only want the postcode to be selected when an exact match has been typed in the search bar. This then triggers other text to change on the dashboard. 

For instance I only want the exact W11 1AJ to be picked up and not for users to have to select the corrent postcode.

Any ideas?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on my research, it is by design to search the related items, maybe you could try to use Smart Filter by OKViz custom visual to achieve your result:

Would a text filter search box work instead of a slicer? If you search text filter in the marketplace it will appear. I believe this might resolve your issue.

@Anonymous that still picks up the other postcodes that contain the shorter postcode. Using the same example, all 5 postcodes are selected when I only want the W11 1AJ selected. I essentially want to be able to do the search as if it had speech marks around the text.
