Hi Barry,

You probably have fulltext searching enabled (it defaults to on for new
Eventum instances) which has both benefits and flaws. The benefits are
it allows more advanced searches (using + and - to make words required
or eliminated) but the downside is certain characters don't work.

up your config.inc.php, and search for "APP_ENABLE_FULLTEXT". You
should change true to false, and see if your search works.

In the future Eventum is going to support more advanced, 3rd party (open
source) search tools, which will handle both advanced and simple searching.

Best Regards,

Hi All,

We have a convention here where we describe our releases with the
following notation x.y.z.a.b which each field delimited by the period
(dot). If I put these strings into the keyword search screen, I don't
get any hits even though I know that many instances of that string
occurs in he description fields.

How can I get this to work. Work Arounds accepted!

Thanks,

Barry
