6. What does the Goal URL Match Type "Head Match" define?
   
   Answer:
   It indicates that the URL of the page visited must match what you enter for the Goal URL, but if there is any additional data at the end of the URL then the goal will still be counted.
   For example,

   xml-programming/module2/metalanguages-markup-quiz-result.jsp
   

   and
   

   xml-programming/module2/metalanguages-markup-quiz-result.jsp?q1=A&q2=B&q3=C&q3=D
   

   would be counted as the same.
