Number Searches


With Enterprise Organizer Pro built-in engine, as with most search engines, all punctuation is ignored. So the number 28.88 is treated as two distinct numbers: 28 and 88.

Further, by default Enterprise Organizer Pro does an "any" search, meaning that it will return documents that match ANY of those terms. In other words, your results are documents that contain 28 OR 88.

Your best friends when you do number searches with Enterprise Organizer Pro are quotations marks "".

Quotations force an "exact phrase" search, which works great with numbers.

If you search for "28.88" (including the quotation marks) you’ll get much better results. You could just as well search for "28 88" since, as we said, punctuation is ignored.

A few more number examples:

800-123-4567 - matches any document that has any of these numbers: 800 123 4567

"800-123-4567" - matches only documents that have the exact sequence of numbers 800 123 4567 (hyphens are ignored)

"-12.345" - matches only documents that have the exact sequence of numbers 12 345 (negative signs and decimals are ignored)

1,234,567 - matches any document that has 1 OR 234 OR 567

"1,234,567" - matches any document that has the exact number sequence 1 234 567 (commas are ignored)
