Filter that only matches on exact value

[smucode]

Users can both type a value to filter for themselves, or they can click on a property somewhere in the UI. In the latter case, I'd like to treat the search as an exact match. Eg in the following example the filter group:"Group 1" is treated as a wildcard search. But i'd like it to match only users in Group 1:

const EasyFilter = require('@noriller/easy-filter')

const array = [
	{ _id: 1, name: "John", age: 42, group: "Group 1" },
	{ _id: 2, name: "Jane", age: 69, group: "Group 11" }
]

const filter = EasyFilter.default(array)
const result = filter.search('group: "Group 1"')

Right now, I don't think it's possible.
Quotes are more like "match every word inside" rather than "exactly this".

For something like that it would need a new operator, probably just for tag like the range ones, maybe tag:exactly(value), to be checked if its exactly the value or not and I can see it as a useful use case.

That's exactly what I need for my usecase 😊
