2. On the "Search Results" screen, the system does not get an exact match on the search, but is showing as well others values:

Fuzzy search feature is enabled in the search help of sales apps.

This is the expected behavior of the fuzzy search feature. With fuzzy search it is possible to search for structured database content that is similar to the user input.

Below are steps to disable the fuzzy search function:

Note: After turning off the fuzzy search function, it means no drop-down list will appear when entering characters in the search field. It is needed to use F4 to search.

1. Go to Display Sales Orders app
2. Go to More -> GUI Actions and Settings -> Settings

3. Click Save
