List Item Search Problems
Hello Community,
I'm encountering an issue when searching for items in a SharePoint list. For instance, when I search using the partial title "0990.LR00.000.", the item titled "0990.LR00.000.09 UUS KOOD 0019.9877" appears in the search results without any issues:
However, if I extend the search query to include more details, such as "0990.LR00.000.09", I run into problems. The search yields results when using the full title "0990.LR00.000.09 UUS KOOD 0019.9877" or searching for "UUS KOOD", but not when searching with the detailed codes like "0990.LR00.000.09" or "0019.9877".
I'm wondering if the use of dots as separators in the codes might be affecting the search functionality. I've already attempted reindexing the list, but it hasn't resolved the issue.
Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have suggestions on how to improve the search results for these types of queries?
Thank you!
Try using wildcard operator (*) for search like 0990.LR00.000.09*
Check this documentation for detailed information about how to build the search queries in SharePoint:

Thanks,ganeshsanap, for the tip about the wildcard operator. I tried it out but no luck yet. I'll dive into those links you sent for more clues. Really appreciate your help!
