Problem with ftsearch

I have an application where I have to serch for a field called “CompetenceArea”.In this field I have values like “SB”, “SP”, “ST”, “SAA” and so on. I have about 15 different choices.

When I make a question like

FIELD CompetenceArea=SB it works fine

But when I make a question like this

FIELD CompetenceArea=ST

I get 0 results

Why? is ST a reserved word?

Subject: RE: Problem with ftsearch

What are you expecting FIELD CompetenceArea=ST to find? If you want to find documents that contain the exact “word” ST (and might also include other words), you can just search for “ST”.

try to use @contains or @isMember in the formula string…
