Remarks

Search performed on a "punctuation-sensitive" item

When a search is performed on a "punctuation-sensitive" item, only the sentences with matching punctuation characters will be found. Therefore, if the name of the customer is "Mr.Smith", the search performed on:

"Mr.Smith" will find the matching record,
"Mr Smith" will find no matching record.

Configuring the different search options for an item
