tagLister does not match the exact tag name

Hello all,

I'm using auto-tag to categorize a bunch of resources, and displaying them all using a tag cloud with tagLister and getResourcesTag. It works great, but apparently when it finds the resources for a certain tag, it matches a string that exists within a tag name, and not the exact tag name.

For example, I have two tags that are "Men" and "Women." All of the resources under "Women" are also showing up under "Men" even though they do not have the "Men" tag. All I can think is that it is finding the string "men" no matter what may be around it.

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this problem? Thanks!

I think taglister is searching with LIKE '%searchstring%'

If you make sure to have doublepipes (||) at front and at the end of all tags,
it would be possible to search with LIKE '%||searchstring||%'

Just for anyone happening upon this thread in the future, I was able to find a solution. First of all, here's another thread dealing with the same problem:

And the reply by saerni worked for me:

It's not very clear from the changelog and at the time of posting this reply, the manual hasn't been adjusted either, but in tagLister 1.1.7, getResourcesTag uses a parameter called &tagSearchType. It allows you to match tags in 5 different ways:

• contains (default)
• exact (this is probably what you want)
• beginswith
• endswith
• within
