Exact match for a certain filter

    I have advanced filters set up for my user directory. Is it possible to make one of the fields only search as an exact match?

    A little more context… These are alumni with class numbers (not years) assigned. If they type a “2”, we want to only return exact matches where the alumni have exactly “2” as the class number. Right now it’s returning any class number that contains a “2” like “12”, “22”, “23”, etc.

    Thanks for your help!

    I ended up doing this:

    /* When filtering on class number, perform an exact match */
add_action("um_user_before_query","um_exact_class_number_match", 10, 2 );
function um_exact_class_number_match( $query_args, $obj ){
? ? foreach ($obj->query_args['meta_query'] as $key1 => $value1) {
? ? ? ? foreach ($obj->query_args['meta_query'][$key1] as $key2 => $value2) {
? ? ? ? ? ? if ($obj->query_args['meta_query'][$key1][$key2]['key'] == 'x_ClassNumber') {
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? $obj->query_args['meta_query'][$key1][$key2]['compare'] = '=';
? ? ? ? ? ? }
? ? ? ? }
? ? }
}
