<h1>Exact people searches</h1>

<p>If your site has a lot of people and uses a PostgreSQL database,

people searches will be faster with exact people searching enabled.

The setting will still work with MySQL databases, but is unlikely

to significantly increase search performance.</p>

<p>However, partial matches on profile fields will not return results,

so if for example you have a person called "Nigel", then typing "Nige"

into the search box will not find that person.</p>
