But by default, Alfresco treats whitespaces as term delimiters and ORs the terms, e.g. a search for &lt;blockcode&gt;my important file.pdf&lt;/blockcode&gt; will search for &lt;blockcode&gt;my OR important OR file.pdf&lt;/blockcode&gt;.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>If you want to search for the full name please make sure you enclose the entire name with quotation marks, e.g. &lt;blockcode&gt;"my important file.pdf"&lt;/blockcode&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Axel</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 20 May 2014 08:31:40 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/why-i-can-t-search-for-a-file-using-the-full-file-name/m-p/300929#M254059 afaust 2014-05-20T08:31:40Z
