Overview:
When a user type a hyphen (-) character in Vault search parameters, the search results do not take this character into account.
Root Cause:
This is known behavior in Vault search.
When there is a hyphen between two terms, Vault searches for the two terms separately so either of the terms can be present in order to return a match in the search results.
Solution:
The Product Team has provided a list of searches that can be used to produce the desired results when using a hyphen in the search parameters.
- All of the words: IRWKS 274
- All of the words: "IRWKS 274"
- All of the words: "IRWKS-274"
- Any of the words: "IRWKS-274"
- Any of the words: "IRWKS 274"
- Any of the words: IRWKS-274 (This is treated as a single string because of the hyphen so it is not tokenized)
The double quote (") character is also a good way to force all of the search parameters to match in Vault.
