Thanks for reporting @LHBL2003, Now addressed as part of #4202 and the subsequent work.
Will be part of the next release.

As mentioned in that thread, any non-prefix matching of words/strings will need to be done with quotes to use exact term matching (\FolderA\ for example) since normal terms are prefix-only matching.
