If the exact name is specified, choose that dir.

[dev-ardi]

I have 2 directories:

│ ▌  308.0 /home/ardi/repos/prust
│     57.5 /home/ardi/repos/prust/mailbox
│     36.0 /home/ardi/repos/rust
                                                                                                                 

If I type in rust it goes to prust because it has more score. I'd like it to go to rust because it's the exact mach.

weirdly enough, if I type rust/ it goes to prust/mailbox

I have a similar issue.

An alternative option (that could be behind a config) would be to take into account what is typed to choose the default directory selected.

I work on three projects that share part of their name:

• rust
• rustc_codegen_gcc
• gcc

I would like the following behavior:

z rust # Goes to rust
z rustc # Goes to rustc_codegen_gcc
z gcc # Goes to gcc

Currently, all three options have the chance to go to the directory rustc_codegen_gcc.

@dev-ardi: Would that behavior suits you as well (you could type rust to go to rust and prust to go to prust)?

This is related to #260
You can take a look at my PR #980 (added zoxide cli flag -e or --exact for exact match)
I don't have much experience, I don't really know why the tests fail or how I can integrate shell aliases, for now you can probably do bandaid solution like:

ze() {
  cd "$(zoxide query -e $@)"
}

On your .bashrc or similar

edit: You probably can take a look at the defaults for a shell and adjust it, for me I use fish and I just pretty much copied most of it

function ze -d "Z jump exact"
    set -l argc (builtin count $argv)
    if test $argc -eq 0
        __zoxide_cd $HOME
    else if test "$argv" = -
        __zoxide_cd -
    else if test $argc -eq 1 -a -d $argv[1]
        __zoxide_cd $argv[1]
    else if test $argc -eq 2 -a $argv[1] = --
        __zoxide_cd -- $argv[2]
    else
        set -l result (command zoxide query --exclude (__zoxide_pwd) -e -- $argv)
        and __zoxide_cd $result
    end
end
