We experience the following problem when using text search in QC 11:
In a number of test cases, we use an identification number which consists of 6 digits, a hyphen, and 4 more digits, e.g. 010101-0101. The same identification number may be used in more than one test case. We put the identification number in the Description tab (It appears that Design steps are not searchable - although they should be according to the documentation).
We want to search for a particular identification number and as a result get a reference to all test cases where this number is used. A search for 010101-0101 (used in 3 test cases) results in 15 hits, where most do not include the actual number but something very close like 010101-0102, and some seemingly have nothing to do with the actual search.
If we just search for the string 01, we get 1 result (not including the desired identification number).
If we search for 0101, we get precisely the 3 desired test cases.
If we search for 010101, we get 15 results.
Can you explain why the text search does not perform like expected?
