Search Api Only Works When Searching For Strings In Lowercase (Doc ID 1588659.1)

Last updated on NOVEMBER 03, 2022

Applies to:

Oracle WebCenter Sites - Version 11.1.1.6.1 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Search page is not returning enough results that is expected, eg a search term "BC12" doesn't return results but a search term "bc12" does although the Content asset that hold the data has the word "ABC1234".

For example in Sites 11.1.1.6.1, FirstSiteII:

1. create a Content asset, and set the Headline field to "ABC1234"
2. in Admin tab -> Search -> Configure Asset Type Search screen, enabled the
Content_C index
3. in Admin tab -> Search -> Configure Attributes for Index, enabled the
FSIIHeadline attribute for the Content_C index
4. search for the asset with the following code

5. searchstr = "BC12" and searchfield = "FSIIHeadline", 0 results found
6. searchstr = "bc12" and searchfield = "FSIIHeadline", 1 asset found
7. searchstr = "BC12" and searchfield = "DefaultSearchField", 0 results found
8. searchstr = "bc12" and searchfield = "DefaultSearchField", 1 asset found

This testcase shows the search api only works when searching for strings in lowercase.
