This article was previously published under Q259579 SYMPTOMS
When you search for Microsoft Word documents that contain words with nonbreaking hyphens (CTRL+HYPHEN), you may get unexpected results. For example, if a document contains the word Schol-lers with a nonbreaking hyphen between Schol and lers, the following query does not return the document:
@Contents Schollers CAUSE
The Microsoft Office filter cannot handle the non-breaking hyphen. Therefore, in this example, Schol and lers are stored as separate strings in the catalog.
