URLs Search Logic—should you check Broad or Exact?
An "Exact" Yes/No switch is found under the URL field (in both Add URL and Edit URL).
If set to Yes, it means Exact Search. If not (default), it means Broad Search.1. If a Root domain (example.com) is entered, it will always be searched as Broad. All pages under this domain will be found.
2. A URL (example.com/page) can be searched as Exact or Broad.
Exact: Only "example.com/page" will be found to track.
Broad: Any URL under it will be found. For example: example.com/page/anotherpage1.html will also be found.
3. A sub-domain (sub.example.com) will always be searched as Broad. Sub.example.com and all pages under it will be found. (For example, sub.example.com/page/anotherpage).
4. Sub-domains are also found when entering a root domain. Entering example.com will also find sub.example.com
5. Sub-domain URLs (sub.example.com/page) can be searched as Exact or Broad.
Exact: Only sub.example.com/page will be found to track.
Broad: Any URL under it will be found. For example, sub.example.com/page/anotherpage.html or sub.example.com/page/whatever.
