Hello,

have you tried quoting your search query, i.e. "@DMS"? These types of characters are special for a reason and should not be used without the proper context.

Hello!!
Thank you very much for your reply.
It OK when search with "@DMS". But only "#DMS" (# sign) is not OK.

Please explain me why it cannot search file name that are starting with special character.

Thank you.

Hello,

some special characters have special meaning in the specific search languages that are used in Alfresco. If such a special character is encountered without having been quoted, the search system evaluates them according to its rules, which may result in the query being either syntactically invalid or interpreted in a totally different way from what you expected / intended.

Even in quoted form there are some characters that may have special meaning, e.g. to define proximity conditions or sloop on terms of the phrase in a full text search. I am not aware that # is one of them, but I never had to use it to search for properly named files or other metadata properties.

There is no error occur in searching. In my opinion it is depend on the language.
For example-> File name in de is not English language it may be error.

Here is example searching with figure
