Hi all,I have created a cm:content with :name : 08.DP.01 MNJ.pdftitle : 08-DP-01 MNJand I face some strange behaviors when trying to search for my documentHere are the tests I did from the webclient :In quick search (supposed to combine a TEXT + cm:name search)08.DP >> no results08\.DP >&g

Now from the advanced search : search on cm:title only
08-DP-01 MNJ >> not found
because translated into this lucene query :+@\{http\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\}title:'08\-DP\-01 MNJ" The problem is that the query builder considers that it is a sentence because of the space after 01 but still escapes automaticaly the dashes. When running the same lucene query without the backslash (+@\{http\://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0\}title:'08-DP-01 MNJ" )
the document is found, but unfortuanately it is not what is done from the advanced search

That sounds like a bug - or at least something that should be configurable. I suspect if the search is a phrase search "in quotes" then the search code should not escape the value - which means it would then work.

I have raised an issue for it:
