Steps to reproduce:
- On the store front of an ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Commerce 2.3 powered store, enter Saga 1 in the search field and click Search.
- Notice that in search results, you only get the products with the attribute value
Saga 1. - On the store front of an ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Commerce 2.4 powered store, enter Saga 1 in the search field and click Search.
Actual result:
Search results in 2.4 include products with attribute values Saga 1 and Saga 16.

Resolution resolution
The ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Commerce native search functionality used in 2.3.x provides exact match search results. While Live Search, an optional module available for installation, which was released with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Commerce 2.4.x, is implemented differently, and the actual result is the expected behavior when the module is used.
