Exact keyword match

When searching for a single keyword this feature wont make any difference. It comes into play when you are searching for two or more keywords at the same time. When performing a keyword search, most sites will return results that match any one of the words that was entered. This means if you searched for 'Assad Beach' then it could return results for Assad, Beach, Assad Beach or Beach Assad. This can return a lot of irrelevant results as a lot of content will be tagged with beach. Turning on the exact keyword match means that only results that exactly match the keywords in the order they were written. This means that only matches for 'Assad Beach' would be returned. This can help make it easier to narrow down results to exactly what is needed. The order of the keywords that are entered will impact the results.
