Not finding files in V8.1

Harry - as Kenward noted, X1 has never supported *string* style searching. In the search world X1's approach to search is known as Prefix Based. This means that each entry you make is treated as the beginning of the search string such that entering the letter A is like A* - finding anything that contains the first letter A. Enter AN and your searching AN* so your results now return results that start with AN (An, And, Answer etc.).

In the case of this specific file AZDOR_82130AAA.pdf - X1 sees this file as being comprised of three "parts" or words if you will. Azdor 82130AAA and PDF.

You can search for and have this file returned by searching for any of the following:

A
AZ
AZD

8
82
821
8213

Or search for the PDF extension.

The following KB explains this in detail: http://help.x1.com/entries/21087552-Can ... ch-String-

The screen shots are from an older version of X1 but the concept remains the same.
