Can I disbale/override wild card search on searchRecords API call

Can I disbale/override wild card search on searchRecords API call

I am trying to query our Zoho accounts by a field called account number that we store load as an integer id.   When I ask for account number 5 I am getting back 5,51,502,5001...  due to it being a wild card search.  Can I pass something into the call that turns off wild card search?  I want to get back the records that are account number 5; don't want all the others where account number contains 5.

A sample of my call.
