[Isis-users] Problem with search

[Edwin Hübner]

Hi Mia,
I remembered something that may be your problem: If the title has
quotation marks at the beginning, eg "some text", a search by title
index will result zero
The maximum size of an index is 60 characteres, including the prefix.
Regards,
Edwin
