Whenever I try to find a tag, (say, text-mode), I tend to get a bunch of
other ones first which have the desired tag as a substring.
(indented-text-mode, text-mode-map, text-mode-abbrev-table, etc etc)

Is there a way to ask for only the exact match?  or a version of the
function that gives you the closest match first? Am I missing something
obvious?

Thanks,
Bng
