Search is not working like expected

[hieste]

Describe the Bug

Hello Dan,

if try to make a normal search for example "675", the search engine do not find it in an expression like M675.

If do the same search in "Exact Matches" the search engine find some result. Think there is a problem...

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create page with Topic M675
2. Normal search with "675" ==> No result
3. Exact match search with "675" ==> Some results...

Expected Behaviour

In "normal" search, there should be also results, in exact matches only if it matches totally.

Thanks for raising @hieste, but this isn't something we'd consider a bug, it's known functionality.
Default search terms are prefix matched, to efficiently search across all indexed terms.
Exact searches are done via a slower "contains" match which will search for that exact term string within the text representation of content.

Will therefore close this off since it's more a difference to expectations rather than a bug in the platform.
