Basic Search Returning More Than Expected.

Laserfiche Search and Retrieval

Hello,

Is there a way to modify a basic search so that it only returns the full text we searched for? For example if i search for John Doe. the search is returning results for any document with EITHER John or Doe and instead i would like it to just return documents with John Doe together.

Thanks!

If you enclose the term in quotes, like "John Doe" it tells the full-text search engine to treat it as a phrase.

Thanks Brianna, i do see that it is space sensitive but do you know if it is case sensitive and if a fuzzy search enabled would help with that?

Searches on document text are not case sensitive, as they are indexed searches. Fuzzy search can be used if you are uncertain about spelling (e.g., you are looking for John or Jon).

Also note that punctuation is not indexed, which means "John Smith" will also return documents that have john.smith , john::smith , john... smith? etc.
