Try to search in this forum for the string: “adding and field” (no quotes) and you get the following Notes exception:
SearchView&Query=add%3Fng%20and%20field&SearchOrder=0&Start=1&Count=100
HTTP Web Server: Lotus Notes Exception - The field name used in the query cannot be found in the database.
If you search for “field and adding”, you get a somewhat different exception:
text=field+and+adding&URLpick=
HTTP Web Server: Unknown Command Exception
I also get an exception trying to use the designer help index on my local 6.01 client with the same strings (“Query is not understandable”). Any ideas?

Subject: that’s because FIELD is a reserved system keyword for advanced queries
in your example, you’d have to enter “adding” and “field” as the query.

Subject: strange search bug - evident in this forum!
It’s not the best search engine. Try searching for “Query_String”. I knew there were posts with this string in it and the search returned ‘no docs found’. I went to Google and did the same search and got tons of hits for ldd forums. In fact if you go to Google you can narrow your search to a specific site, see the example.
site:www-10.lotus.com query_string
I find Google’s boolean searching to be far more intuitive as well.
I tried your search
site:www-10.lotus.com adding field
and got what looked to be some very relevent hits. You also get the “similar pages” link too for each hit.
I’m beginning to sound like a commercial for Google so I’ll stop. Just wanted to let you know there’s an alternative search engine.
