Question
What is a string match in rules and how do I use it?
Answer
String match is used to define rules which will match only on the exact string defined.
A restriction of defining a rule using string match is that hierarchy filters would not be applied, since only the rule for the exact match to the string as defined would be processed.
The format of a string match used in a rule is =STRING".
For example this means that even if a node such as node "child" is a child of "parent" and a string match is used in a rule such as "=parent" then rule matches will not include the child node "child".
