Smart Search currently uses a single global "word match" setting (exact / begin / fuzzy) for all search results.
In my use case, different types of indexed content benefit from different matching modes.
For example:
As far as I can see, at the moment, this cannot be configured without custom code or extensions.
Allow Smart Search filters to optionally override the global word match mode.
Proposed behavior:
This would keep full backward compatibility while allowing more precise search behavior per filter.
This is a configuration-level improvement and does not change the default behavior of Smart Search.
