Query to display the exact match product at top or increase the nearness

Question

Hello All,
I am using the iStore search and it is returning results for Part Number and Description search. If I am searching a particular Part Number , it is displaying the particular product and its related products. I need the exact matched product in the first row (topmost).
When I checked the back-end query, It is using contains for powerful search.
How can I display the exact match product at top or increase the nearness in search.
Please help.
I have seen a similar thread in the forum.
Contains: exactly match
Thanks in advance,
Muhammed Aslam

Hello Muhammed Aslam,
If fuzzy search is enabled, then cannot search by part number.
The seeded query for iStore product search is based on the description as follows:
Product Search (Section Search - R12)
select * from
(select T.*, RowNum as row_num
