Exact target matching using double quotes

Post by Rias »

Double quotes can now be used to provide a match search for the exact text within the quotes. So in the case of ordering dyes at the market, for instance, one would type:
order "vial of red dye"
to specifically get that plain red dye instead of clay-red or carmine-red or all the other reds that might have otherwise matched first.

Quoted text will also match anywhere in the target, and doesn't require providing the noun as the last word. So using the same example situation, I could also type:
order "vial of red"
and I'd still match up with the vial of red dye, even though I didn't provide the "dye" noun.

This will work with all instances of target matching, not just ordering at the market. So if you have your plain "a pine-planked handcart" and someone else saunters in pulling their "a weathered pine-planked handcart", you can ensure you target your own by typing:
pull "a pine-planked handcart"
<Rias> PUT ON PANTS
<Fellborn> NO
