Comment 2 for bug 1267129

Hi Elaine,

I think this issue is different than the one you intially reported on the bug. My expectation for a "Matches Exactly" search is that the initial article would indeed affect the search results since initial articles are not ignored in Evergreen keyword searches. As evidenced by the initial bug report, "Matches Exactly" searches aren't working correctly,but, when they do work correctly, my understanding is that you need to enter the search terms exactly as they appear in the title from beginning to end, unlike the "contains phrase" search, which just looks for phrase in the title.

To my knowledge, the browse search is the only search that has been taught to ignore initial articles.
