Problem in View Search in notes client

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I have 3 Groups and 1 People in Address book.

Groups:

Group

Group%Part1

Group%Part2

People:

User A

Now

  1. Group%Part2 has User A in Members field.

  2. Group%Part1 has Group%Part2 in Members Field.

  3. Group has Group%Part1 in Members Field.

Now when I search the view with notes client search, search queries are:

  1. Query : Field Members contains UserA.

    Result Shows: Group%Part2

  2. Query : Field Members contains Group%Part2

    Result Shows: Group%Part1

  3. Query : Field Members contains Group%Part1

    Result Shows: Group

  4. Query : Field Members contains Group

    Result Shows: Group

                        Group%Part1

Now there is problem with 4 query. According you me it should not show any result as Members field does not have Group.

Please suggest to solve the issue.

Thanks

The search result is perfectly correct.

“contains” does not mean “matches exactly”. As the strings “Group%Part1” and “Group%Part2” contain the string “Group”, both documents containing the string “Group” anywhere in the Members field are returned.

Thanks.

So what query gives the expected result. “matches exactly”.

There is in general no way to enforce an exact match when searching or field content.

In you case - because of the naming scheme - you would probably get the desired result with a query like

FIELD Members CONTAINS Group and FIELD Members NOT CONTAINS Group%
