Ftsearch problem

Hi, I have a problem with the fulltext search, both from lotusscript than from the client.

In 3 docs I have a field with the value 30789,80981111 ; in other 3 docs I have a field with the value 30789,80973322 .

They are text 16 bit, If I search for 30789,809444 I have back all these 6 documents while expecting none, What is wrong??

Thanks in advance.

Subject: my guess is the comma acts as a delimeter

therefore, 30789 is found in all.

to prove the theory, create a doc with a different first 5 digits and try again.

Thanks for the precious suggestion.

Whitout comma is working good and with only few work my problem is solved, but if i must look for values that has commas? is there a way to specify an escape character or something similar?

Tks.

Subject: try putting quotes around the search field

if not, maybe convert the document value to numeric would work.
