# Response Body Match direction switch fixed

If you flipped a body-match alert from "down if text is missing" to "down if text is found" (or back) and then got an incident on a perfectly healthy site, that was our bug: the old direction stayed active in the background. Switching direction now replaces the old rule completely, so only the direction you chose can fire.
