Describe the issue

This is a clarification issue. In the documenation for file search, the service, it says Returns a list of objects matching all search criteria across all known versions of objects. The match wording on the documenation is unclear. At first glance, I would assume exact match. However, the queries are not exact match queries but are like queries (metadata and tags)

In our application, we store internal database record ids. So if I am trying to find all documents where tag Id=N, this may return more records than expected. If I search for documents linked to Id=1, I am going to get back documents for any id that contains a '1' which could be A LOT (1, 10, 11..19,21,31,41...).

Perhaps a future consideration could be allow an option to provide a search mode, exact / contains, or extend with a graphql query on metadata and tags.
