Exact Search in ML

Unfortunately when I search for artist "Alin" in results there are all kind of names which contains "alin" substring.
Example: search "Alin".
Results:
  • Teofil Palincas
  • Florin Calinescu
  • Catalin Lup
  • Anca si Madalina
etc.
Is it possible to use strict string in search? Even regexp? '/^(alin)$/'
 
Currently this is not possible, the only way is to enter more characters to make it show only the needed results.

Tried with more characters. The result is almost the same. It does not respect the string pattern. Certainly this issue request some improvements.

In your case (the first post) you can enter "Pali" or "Cali" depending on what you're looking for, and even enter more characters like "Palin" to narrow the results further.
