Cognos 10.2 Search Function

[cognosryan]

Hi All,

Apologies if this has been asked before i been trawling through threads but couldnt see anything that fits my situation.
Our enviroment is 10.2. The search function does not seem to work correctly.

If i search for "R001" it will bring back everything thats in the public folders and by everything i mean everything :(
Ive been playing around with "new index update" by including and excluding folders but the search still searches the whole portal.

Is there anything i can do? Ive consulted the IBM guides and it says use operaters but they dont seem to be working.

Forever confused   :o

I found the search indexing in 10.2.0 to be a pain myself. Have you reviewed the Proven Practices articles? http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/cognos/infrastructure/cognos_specific/page541.html and http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/cognos/infrastructure/cognos_specific/page619.html

I simply change the search content to "Name field" instead of using the enhanced searches. Haven't really played with it in 10.2.1/10.2.2 but perhaps it is better. I think in 11.0 all of the indexing stuff is done automatically
