Sandy, I definitely don't feel ganged up on, and very much appreciate the lively and helpful exchange that the question prompted. I've gone back to the original support case seeking clarification, as I'd like there to be a different (or at least clearer) answer.If Marketo doesn't weigh in directly o...

Trevor, I really appreciate your active engagement on this issue. And I would have expected results that matched your experience. I'm not sure if this is, as Marketo support indicated, "especially true when using 1000+ different words/character strings," but we're seeing (and support is confirming) ...

Sandy, I don't think Marketo views the problem this way. Our client actually had a chat with support about it, and got this answer:"After some additional research and investigation, I was able to determine that the 'contains' operator will allow any lead through that has any complete character value...

I'm not able to send a screenshot because the filter has more than 1000 selected values in it, and is specific to the client's marketing interests. I can say that results of the smart list definitely include things that don't match the filter. That said, it does appear that Josh's 'starts with' idea...

Our client's case looks like your first example, yet is still pulling in things it shouldn't (i.e. that don't match the full value).

Thanks Josh. I've not tested 'starts with', but the 'contains' issue is definitely taken from experience.

I think it would be worth it if I could get it work, but alas, I can't seem to stop it from re-appending the "extra stuff".

You've gotta get the fallback page to be just /pagename.html. The UI will change this to http://pagename.html. So you need to replay the request and take out the extra stuff.Actually, even with the replay (UI hack) the system still appears to append the 'http:/' in a way that prevents this approach ...

But in the Marketo LP example here, pagename.html (which let's assume was successfully and forcibly placed by the UI hack) is still the same content whether it's being viewed from info.brand_a.com/pagename.html or info.brand_b.com/pagename.html.What's still needed to give the user an actual brand_a ...
