What is the difference between the strict and non-strict option when searching for clauses?

ClauseBuddy offers two search modes: Smart and Strict.

The default mode is smart. Here, ClauseBuddy uses an intelligence layer to find semantically matching clauses. The search is not literal, so descriptions and synonyms usually also show the correct clause at the top.

Strict search is possible by checking the box to the right of the search bar. A literal search is performed in this mode. Grammatical variations are allowed, but synonyms are excluded from the search results.
