This issue is not related to the database (reproduced with MS SQL and HSQLDB), neither to the custom fied type (reproduced with list/constraints and simple text).

This happens with any type of document not only PDF and XLS as previously reported.

Searching on standard fields works perfectly.

It seems to be a bug on the indexing engine.

Hi

What language/locale are you using?
What rules have you got set that could affect these documents?
Are you using meta data extraction?

Do you mean the search ending with a * works?
Does the search work if it is quoted?

When you go and look and edit this property is it set to what you expect it to be? Is it set correctly when you go and look in the node browser (as admin)?

What are your settings in the DD for indexing this property?
How is it set?

Hi Andy,

as you can see

the reported issue was due to the meta data extraction rule put on the root (Company Home). Once removed it, all works as expected. Even if my expectation is that even with that rule anything should work.

I tested without any difference with English and Italian.
