Different search results between Client and server

I have created a notes application and am running it on Notes 8.5.1 client and server. I have a view I wish to search using the notes search facility. In the advanced search options I use fill out example form. The example form has a multi item select dialog list field from with I select one of the items, it is a multi word item with spaces between words.

I ensure I have not ticked use word variants or fuzzy search. On a local replica I get only the documents with a matching item to the one I selected, however on the server replica I get word matching and so get documents I do not want.

Has anyone elese experienced this ? Does anyone have a clue to what is happening ?

I have now tried this on another server, once again running Domino 8.5.1. The problem with the results still exist. I have tried making a new replica and updating all view indexes as well. Still no joy with the results.

I found the solution in

Apparently the search defaults to a web search i.e. if the search word contains several words then the search returns all items that contains any of those words.

To get a Notes search you have to put a / before the query.

I don’t know if it is a bug but it defaults to Notes search on a local database and a web search on a server database.

Hope this helps anyone else who has this issue.

Are they both indexed? Different replicas need indexing separately

Subject: indexes

Yes I ensured both databases were indexed. I made sure that I indexed them in exactly the same way.I have tried re-indexing them several times.

The data is static and does not change.
