Hello everybody,
I work for Autodesk dealer company as a Vault technical consultant.
Our Vault customers critise searching algorithm with "quick search" in the Vault
client. I mean search in the "Vault client main panel", no command "Search"
with binoculus icon.
Autodesk developers rewrote search algorithm above a few years ago. The algorithm uses "tokens" now.
But it isn't possible to find exact string, which user enters.
For example. There are this documents abcd.ipt, abcd1.ipt in the Valt. And user wants to
find the document abcd.ipt. When user enter string abcd.ipt for searching, the Vault
returns both documents, i.e. abcd.ipt, abcd1.ipt. It's confusing.
The same situation will be, when user enter this selecting strings: "abcd.ipt", 'abcd.ipt', i.e. with
quotation marks, quote.
If user knowns the whole and exact document name (or string of another property) and wants to find
the folder where that document in the Vault is, the Vault can't return the perfect answer.
The "token algorithm" Vault uses event if user enter find string with quotation marks unfortunately.
Most of IT aplications use quotation marks for searching for an exact string.
Couldn't be possible to restore searching with quotation marks in the new Vault 2017 version?
Thank you for your cooperation.
Have fun today.
