Query by article title, exact match required

GraphQL Admin API Troubleshooting
1

I am looking to do a blog title search, with an exact match

query ($query: String!){
  articles(first: 10, query: $query) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        handle
        title
        tags

      }
    }
  }
}

Using

{"query": "'this being exact'"}

But that does look to work, just brings lots of non similar results. I can’t seem to target the title. I tried this

{"query": "query=title:this being exact"}

But got

                "warnings": [
                    {
                        "field": "query=title",
                        "message": "Invalid search field for this query."
                    }
                ]

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Grant,

If you restructure your query like this, will it work?

query {
  articles(first: 10, query: "\"this being exact\"") {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        handle
        title
        tags
      }
    }
  }
}

I had tried that but I think that search all of the content and not the title. The documentation (articles - GraphQL Admin) implies that title should work in a query, but it does look to.

So, I messed around a bit, and this looks better

query ($query: String!, $sortKey: ArticleSortKeys!, $reverse: Boolean!, $first: Int){
  articles(first: $first, query: $query, sortKey: $sortKey, reverse: $reverse) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        handle
        title
        tags

      }
    }
  }
}

and

{
   "query":"\"this being exact\"",
   "sortKey":"RELEVANCE",
   "reverse":true,
   "first":10
}

It could be that it was returning the results but it was one of many, sorting by relevance allowed me to see the one I was looking for

I will continue to test this, but for the one I was testing against it worked
