re symbol characters and FT search
Notes treats most symbols as white space.
For example, there is no difference between the string "$800"
and the string "800." Both will be found whether or not
the query includes the $ (dollar) sign.
Exceptions:
A leading @ sign (located at the beginning
of a word) is indexed. For example, to Notes, the word "@command"
is different from the word "command." You can search for
these two words independently. A nested @ sign is also indexed, to
allow for the searching of Internet addresses.
Notes recognizes the following four
symbols in a query if they are embedded within a word; however, Notes does
not recognize them if they located are at the beginning or the end of a
word:
: colon
\ back
slash
. period
&
ampersand
The words "cc:mail" and "boot.bat,"
for example, are treated differently than "cc mail" and "boot
bat." In addition, note that the ampersand (&) is a reserved
character; to search for a string such as "AT&T," enclose
the word in quotes (in the query). These four symbols are ignored
by a query if they are located at the beginning or end of the word. You
can search for any of these characters if they are contained within spaces.
For example, you can search for "AT & T" or "Mr
/ Mrs".
Hyphens are one of the characters that
is treated as white space (even if embedded within a word). In addition,
the forward slash ( /) cannot be used in a query. The forward slash is
often used in text as a delimiter between words such as "our fly/drive
plan" and "and/or."
hope this is the information you need.,
