R5 to R6 upgrade - Full text index problem, no search results

Hello,

I just upgraded our server from R5 to R602 CF1 and am now having problems with search results in the company’s inventory database. We can no longer search the prefix for an item number and get all the results. (For example searching " IBM" used to return all part numbers IBM001, IBM002, IBM003 etc). Some seaches work for some fields and others not at all. I’ve tried deleting and recreating FTI and running updall. I even tried replacing the old FT folders from the backup of the old R5 server and the searches actually worked until the hourly index update.

What I don’t understand is R6 index folders are actually larger than the old ones but searching hardly works. This is a customized database that was not created from a native Notes template.

Am I screwed in R6?

Not a solution, but curious - what happens when you search for “IBM*”

Hey! Now we’re getting somewhere. Using the * wildcard after IBM actually returned all the results for that part number.

However, there is also an invoice database where we used to be able to search a part # and all the invoices with that part# would come up. I still get partial results using the wildcard.
