Queries with Periods in Document Name Fail to Find Text in Files (288738)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Index Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q288738

SYMPTOMS

When you index a document on a server using Index Server 2.0, if the document contains a name that uses initials (for example W.A. Wilde), the query for that string may appear to be case sensitive. For example, if you query for "W.A. Wilde," Index Server finds the document; however, if you query for "W.A. wilde," Index Server fails to find the document.

WORKAROUND

Although this appears to be a case sensitive issue, if you replace the periods with spaces, Index Server will find the document.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Index Server 2.0.
