Search Problem

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi,

I am using the following url syntax on a form-based search:

http://www.mysite.com/mydb.nsf/vwSearch?SearchView&Query=[Authority]+CONTAINS+West&SearchOrder=4

http://www.mysite.com/mydb.nsf/vwSearch?SearchView&Query=[Authority]+CONTAINS+West%20OR%20East&SearchOrder=4

In the first example, I receive a list of results containing only those which have the word ‘West’ in the Authority field

In the second example, I receive a list of results containing the words ‘West’ or ‘East’ ANYWHERE within the document (and specifically NOT within the Authority field)

Can anybody tell me why this might be please?

Thanks in advance!

Jon

try:Authority contains “West” or Authority contains “East”

I reckon that the OR “East” is being used as a fulltext search in your example.
