Q: I would like to use the Glossary to search on exact terms based on the title of the CONCEPT field, NOT every time the term is mentioned in the definition field for any other entry.
We have HUNDREDS of terms... when students query them - lets say they query the term "attack" ... EVERY ENTRY with that term will display... NOT JUST THE EXACT ENTRY FOR THAT TERM. In other words - JUST the exact entry with that exact string value as the stated in the CONCEPT FIELD for that term or phrase of the glossary, NOT EVERY ENTRY WHERE THE TERM IS MENTIONED IN THE DEFINITION OF ANOTHER TERM...
The way the glossary currently works is contradictory to how humans actually use a real life glossary... in real life, they go look up the term exactly relative to what Moodle considers the CONCEPT FIELD. They don't and ask the glossary to barf out every reference to the mention of that term in the contents of EVERY ENTRY.
So, I want to eliminate this design flaw by using what I think was a feature implemented to mitigate the problem, Match whole case words - from https://docs.moodle.org/403/en/Using_Glossary:
"Match whole words only
If automatic linking is enabled, then turning this setting on will force only whole words to be linked. For example, a glossary entry named "construct" will not create a link inside the word "constructivism".
Click Save changes to save your entry."
Fine. Sounds like that if I check this box for the concept, the term ATTACK will NOT show up when I query anything with the term ATTACK nested in it OR any aspect of the definition, including and especially the content as listed in the definition field of other terms.
Am I wrong? If so, please help me understand, because it does not seem to be working that way
