If I understand correctly you want to search for a literal 'Smith' and not
any %Smith% which yeilds results containing Smith as well? If you have a
column for last name already you can just alter your find query in the
controller to only bring back that specific item
$this->Model->find('all', array('conditions' => array('Model.lastname' =>
$searchterm)));
as opposed to
$this->Model->find('all', array('conditions' => array('Model.lastname LIKE'
=> '%' . $searchterm . '%')));
