I have been searching this for a while : Is it possible to do a domain search using field? Not the header field (_CreationDate, _Title, DbCategories, etc.) but the “true” fields that we add in designer.
Some posts in this forum make me think that it is while others make me believe it’s not. I would be nice to have one real answer 
Thanks.

never mind…misread your question…

I have made some more tests :
BAD
(floor)AND ([DbCategories] CONTAINS (“DTR - Java”)) AND ([fldResponsible]=“Robert Houle”)
GOOD
(floor)AND ([DbCategories] CONTAINS (“DTR - Java”)) AND ([_Title]=“Robert Houle”)
I think we can safely assume that it’s only possible to use the header field (_CreationDate, _RevisionDate, _Title, DbCategories, _Note_Title and _Note_Author)
The header fields are described at : http://www-12.lotus.com/ldd/doc/domino_notes/6.5m2/help65_designer.nsf/0/ac85d0ffd3dafae985256d42004f0d6d?OpenDocument
This is weird, FTDomainSearch search everythings in all the documents but we can’t ask anything about field ?!?
Thanks for the reply.

Robert,
I was playing with FTDomainSearch earlier this year. I found somewhere (i can’t remember where) that said searching on fields MIGHT work.
Well… I was never able to get it to work. I could do regular Full Text searches but nothing with a syntax that used fields.
