@kgillis Check for „Exact Operators“ 
«no» | «nope» | «n/a»
Exact operator pairs such as “”, «», and 「」, are used to match terms exactly as written. For example, searching “ice cream” would turn up responses with that exact phrasing, but not a response with “ice creams” or “ice-cream” or other similar, lemmatized results. Furthermore, reserved keywords such as and, or, and not can be searched for within exact operators (e.g. “not”). To search for double quotes, include a pair of double quotes back to back (e.g. “”””). For example, “””not happy””” will match I am “not happy” but not I am not happy.
yes, that is to match the word exactly, I am wanting to add in the logic so that if there are ANY OTHER WORDS in the response then it will not be tagged with that topic.
@kgillis Sorry, missunderstood, my bad 
Hi @kgillis,
I have the same problem as you, only in different language.
The “-” operator is very helpful here
E.g
| dress -room | dress appears but room does not |
I use the “-” operator with some common word in my mother tongue to get only the “No”, “None”...answer.
In English, the most common word should be “the”. So can you try: (no -the)
Let me know if it helps
Maybe you could achieve that by taking it the other way around and asking your respondent to give a more complete answer with the response clarity feature if your Text iQ query does not give you the result expected: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/editing-questions/validation/#Quality
