Yet Another Click?

Why is the "Show Exact Search" for fields yet another click? I'm in the Advanced Search and one would think that those using this section are capable of discerning when to tick the 'Exact' box and when not to.

    I found it confusing at first that I had to check "Show exact search" and then check each "Exact" box individually. The terminology in Family Tree's FIND function is different. It has a check box for "Show exact search fields" and a "Match all exactly" option, to apply an "Exact" search to all fields.

    Just a small thing, but I think the "Show exact search fields" in FIND is clearer than the words used on the https://www.familysearch.org/search page.

    @dunphy39 Yea, and why must the Show Exact Search be placed in just the right position that when I want to press the Reset All button I can't because the help bubble for Show Exact Search is obscuring it. I have to close my eyes and count to ten. ( R.I.P Dusty )
