  • Searching library with wildcards

     02-03-2010, 2:37 PM

    I was trying to author using an extensive library, and wanted to code my items so that i can narrow the search more easily.

    For example, items may have codes M02MM01, M02MM02, M02MM03, M02MM04 etc and I want to find all the M02MM items (and not M02XX items).

    If I just search for M02MM it doesn't seem to find anything - it needs to be an exact match.

    Can anyone advise what wildcards the library search supports, or if there is another way to achieve what I'm trying to do?

    Hi Richard,

    Have you tried enclosing your search in quotes, such as "M02MM* "?  This should work, but on testing it just now, we realised the indexing for the search gadgets seems to be timing out, which may explain your problem. We'll re-index the servers over the weekend, and hopefully that will give you more success. ( If we do it during the week it will impact performance when there are many users online.)
