Hi MacLit
There are 2 things to consider:
- Search does not index special characters
- Search is case insensitive
Therefore,
1) Dot-separated: "H.567.432" - Exact phrase search would give exact result "H.567.432" (if post exists). However, In addition to the exact result, it will also give you "H 567 432" (if there is such term in any of the posts). Please note that because we do not index special characters (dot in this case), any special character in the content is replaced with space.
Dash-separated: "D-DW-NCD": Similarly as above, it will provide you exact result "D-DW-NCD", but will also provide you "D DW NCD" (if such terms exist in the posts). Also, please note that since it is case insensitive, you would also get results like "d-Dw nCD" etc (if such terms exist)
Space-separated: "DAD 7532": You will get exact post "DAD 7532" and you would also get "dad 7532" (if such term exists)
"BMI055": You will get exactly "BMI055" and with "bmi055" etc (if such terms with small case exist in the posts)
2) Yes, exact phrase search works on Article attachments as well.
Please let me know if you have any doubts. We can discuss further.
