SearchView and dot character

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I have a $$SearchTemplate form where I compose the search URL in the normal way.For example, if I am searching the exact phrase “Hommer Simpson” :

http://server/db.nsf/myView?SearchView&Query=Hommer%20Simpson

This works OK, as the database is indexed.

But when I try another search like this, with a dot in the middle I don’t get any result :

http://server/db.nsf/myView?SearchView&Query=Hommer%20J.%20Simpson

Any idea? I don’t know where to look at. I tried watching the behavior of this forum when I search the phrase “Domino 6.5.5 Server” and I think I am on the right way.

Thanks in advance.

Try putting quotes around your exact phrase.

I think there is no need to put quotes for an exact phrase. When I look for something like that in this forum there are no quotes in the URL.

Anyway, the quotes would appear like this :

http://server/db.nsf/myView?SearchView&Query="Hommer%20J.%20Simpson"

And it doesn’t work for me.

Any suggestions?
