Description:

RecordPoint search leverages SharePoint search, thus it has the same functionality. Some of the tips for the right usage of Advance Search functionality are outlined below:

Tips:

  1. The queries find an exact match.

E.g. Let us consider Record A with Record Number ‘ABC-R/2017/0001’ and Record B with ‘Record Number R0001’.

  • For a query, 

Record Number Contains R

It is going to find the exact match ‘R’ (as a separate letter) and returns just the Record A with Record Number ‘ABC-R/2017/0001’.

  • For a query, 

Record Number Contains R*(‘*’ is a wildcard operator that indicates zero or more characters)

It is going to return both the records, Record A with Record Number ‘ABC-R/2017/0001’ and Record B with ‘Record Number R0001’.

  1. Suffix matching is not supported.

E.g. Let us consider Record A with Record Number R0000021, using Record Number Contains *21 is not supported.

The query to find this record would be Record Number Contains 21*, which would search for zero or more characters after 21 in each word and give the right result.
