Basic Search Wildcard Issue?

Laserfiche Version 10 Search and Retrieval

asked on April 21, 2020

When performing a basic/common search on fields using a wildcard (*), I dosen't seem to return the correct results...

I would like the following syntax {LF:Basic~="7 MAIN*", option="F"} to return only:

7 MAIN ST

7 MAIN AVE

7 MAIN DR

Instead it is returning...

721 MAIN ST

7 MAIN AVE

788 MAIN DR

FYI, under Options --> Search --> General, ALL options (fuzzy, partial matches, etc) are unchecked.

Also, when performing a FIELD search instead of BASIC/COMMON using the wildcard (*), I get the proper results.

Thanks in advance.

Use Name

{LF:Name="7 MAIN*", option="F"}

The name search will not work... all metadata we are searching for are in multiple, different template fields.

Use a combination of field & name search wherein name you can use wildcard but choose "folder" if you're looking for folders. Basically do not use Basic Search and use Advanced Search to pinpoint the combination of search works for the requirement.
