More than one item is returned in the search results when you use the "item:<URL>" search term to search for a specific item in SharePoint Server 2007

SYMPTOMS

When you use the "item:URL" search term to search for a specific item in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, more than one item is returned in the search results. For example, this problem occurs when you search for a specific item by using the following search term:
item:http://Server_Name/Shared%20Documents/Document_Name.doc

CAUSE

This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • The URL of the item that you searched for contains more than 64 characters.
  • The first 64 characters of the URL of the item that you searched for matches the first 64 characters of the URL of other items.
When you use the "item:URL" search term, SharePoint Server 2007 uses the first 64 characters of a URL to identify items. Therefore, if the first 64 characters of the URLs of other items match the URL that you specify in the "item:URL" search term, more than one item is returned in the search results. You do not experience this issue if the URL of an item contains less than 64 characters.

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.
