Re: Potential Exact search option: Exact or null

1) Is this a feature you'd find useful? How useful?

2) Are there distinct cases where you'd use "exact or null" and "exact exact." What would those be? Could you imagine regaularly doing a mix of these within a query (e.g., "exact exact" for surname AND "Exact or null" for birth year in the same query)

3) if you were to choose which exact would be the default recommendation when user's choose to apply some sort of exactness, which would it be?

4) If we were to release this feature on new search, would you become convicned that new search is the greatest thing ever? (completely kidding on this one)

Thanks in advance

1. I would think it could be very useful. Any option which allows for more granularity in a search is good.

2. While I can't think of any specific instances where it might be used doesn't mean that such cases won't present themselves in the future.

3. I believe the "exact or null" setting as default would be more useful in most cases- especially for newbies.

4. Maybe not the greatest, but certainly climbing the charts! ;)
