jQuery filter function is not showing exact match :(

My problem is something like this,

I am using filter function to show the matched elements(LI)in tree,its working fine but its showing all li elements which starts from passed string,for example

if i passed "Application" to filter function,then it's showing me all li, which text start from "Application"

function callme(filterData){
$("ul.treeview").find("li").hide();
if(filterData.indexOf("|")!=-1){
    var filterData = filterData.split("|");

    for(i=0;i<filterData.length;i++){

        jQuery("ul.treeview").find("li").filter(function(index) {
            return jQuery.trim($(this).text()) == filterData.trim();
        }).show();
    }

}else{
    jQuery("ul.treeview").find("li").filter(function(index) {
        return jQuery.trim($(this).text()) == filterData.trim();
    }).show();

}
}  

here is my html...  

<ul id="leftNavigation" class="treeview">  
   <li>
        <ul>
      <li >
        <a href="#">Application</a><font   class="leftNavHitsFont"> - (3)<开发者_StackOverflow中文版/font>
      </li>
       </ul>
       <ul>
    <li >
    <a href="#">Application Notes</a><font class="leftNavHitsFont"> - (1)</font>
   </li>
      </ul>
   </li>
</ul>

Yeah, that is the definition of something containing something else.

Maybe you meant to get an exact match?

jQuery("ul.treeview").find("li").filter(function(index) {
    return jQuery.trim($(this).text()) == jQuery.trim(filterData);
}).show();
