There might be times when you need to search the container for a text string that is an exact match of your search string argument. To find an exact match:

• In the SEARCHSTRING data structure, specify values for the fields as you normally would, with the following exception:

  Along with an attribute for the type of view being displayed in the container, in the usView field specify the CV_EXACTLENGTH (0x10000000L) flag. For example:

  CV_EXACTLENGTH | CV_ICON
  

  Note: The usView field if used for specifying the exact match attribute, and the type of view. Despite the "us" prefix this field is a ULONG. The "us" prefix is used in the header files to maintain backward compatibility.
