Search API filtering - specifying an exact match

[richtebb]

The current behaviour of the search API appears to be to perform an implicit wildcard search, so that (for example)

..../data_index/....&v=1

searches for 1* and will therefore match v=1, v=1.0, v=10 etc.

Is there any way to request an exact match, so that a search for v=1 doesn't end up returning a "too many results" code?

Yeah, kinda ugly (regexp-kind) but that's what we have right now:

http://repository.sonatype.org/service/local/data_index?a=log4j&v=1.2.13

(there is "1.2.13.v200706111418" returned also)

vs

http://repository.sonatype.org/service/local/data_index?a=log4j&v=^1.2.13$

(only versions "1.2.13")

This delimiter works for all fields...

Thanks,
