Difference between MatchFlag.MatchFixedString and MatchFlag.MatchExactly
-
I try to get the difference in the behavior between
MatchFlag.MatchFixedStringandMatchFlag.MatchExactly.To my understanding it is the same behavior. Isn't it?

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qt.html#MatchFlag-enum where these constants are described does not make it totally clear, but this type is used:- In model item searches, such as QModelIndexList QAbstractItemModel::match(const QModelIndex &start, int role, const QVariant &value, int hits = 1, Qt::MatchFlags flags = Qt::MatchFlags(Qt::MatchStartsWith|Qt::MatchWrap)) const.
I think the
MatchFlag.MatchExactly("PerformsQVariant-based matching.") should allow e.g. integer model data values (models storeQVariants) to be compared via their actual underlying value type rather then being converted to strings, as the other constants call for.
