Hi guys! Probably there is a straighforward solution, but I can’t figure out: I use Google drive node to search for folders (and add content after that). The problem is if I search for “Bringa 23” and it shows “Bringa 236” as a result. I want to search for exact matches. How can I achieve that? Thank you!

Hi there,

I see what is happening in this case, Can you try the following:

1. Set the “Search Method” to “Advanced Search” and use the following query string:

2. Once I did that then I was able to search for the exact string

3. Here is the sample workflow I am using:
