Document is not returned in search results even though the document exists on the site in Windows SharePoint Services
When you search for a document on a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services site by typing the name of the document without the file name extension in the search box, you may find that no items are returned in the search results even though the document that you search for exists on the portal site.
This issue may occur if both the following conditions are true:
- You have a deployment of Windows SharePoint Services where Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is installed on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server-based computer.
- The document name that you search for contains only one word.
In this situation, when you search for the document by using the file name without the extension, the document is not listed in the search results even though the document exists on the portal site.
To work around this problem, search for the document by using the whole file name, including the file name extension. For example, if you search for a document on the portal that is named My Document.txt, type
My Document.txt in the search box, and then press ENTER.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
For more information about how to search the Windows SharePoint Services site, see the Windows SharePoint Services Help.
For more information about how to deploy, to configure, and to administer Windows SharePoint Services, see the
Windows SharePoint Services Administrator's Guide.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
