Alfresco search and file extension

[ruudruud]

Hi,

We're struggling with searching the Alfresco index. It looks like Alfresco needs the file extension in the search-string in order to find the correct files.

eg: we have a file test alfresco.doc

When we use alfresco as a search-term the document isn't found. However, when we search for alfresco* or alfresco.doc the document does show up in the results.

Is this normal Alfresco behavior?

Hi

That use case should be fine.

However, the lucene standard analyser we use by default can create some unexpected tokens trying to handle dates, product codes etc.
The latest versions of Alfrecso have cm:name tokenised and "as is" so you can do FTS and pattern mathing using Alfresco FTS (which is now exposed directly via share although you may not know it 🙂 )

You can change the tokenizer for all d:text properties to avoid the lucene tokenisation funnies - but not yet per property
