# Search logic
### Exact matching
When exact matching, the plugin always treats the search input as a single search keyword.
#### Exact match location

| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------- | ------- |
| hello wor | Post Title:
Hello world!
| Anywhere | **YES** |
| llo wo | Post Title:

### Search keyword logic (fuzzy logic)
When exact matching is disabled, then there are **4 possible logics** to choose from:
* OR (default)
* OR with exact word matches
* AND
* AND with exact word matches
The default is "OR". For more information about the logics please read [search logics explained](/general-options/search-logic/search-logics-explained.md)
