Search on object name

Question

Hi, 
 
 We have object with name such as :

MPC 4504 
 MPC 3504 
 MPC 3004 
 
 among many others with a 2 or 3 at the end instaead of '4'. 
 
 We tried to search for all the objects from the '4' series with request such as MPC*04 MPC ??04 MPC???04 MPC *04 
 
 None of them works correctly; most of them result in an error (no wild caracter as first cracter of a word). 
 
 It seems strange as other 'GED' or ECM solution don't have such limitations. 
 
 Is their a way to find a workaround or to make it possible? 
 
 Thansk in advance. 
 
 NB : test with DTsearch.

You could try modifying "Leading Wildcards to Omit During Preprocessing" under Advanced Vault Settings > Search > Full-Text Search. The default with dtSearch is *?# so enter for instance ?# if you want to use * in your searches. 
 You need system administrator rights to modify this setting and it might require you to restart M-Files Server afterwards for the new setting to be taken into use.

You could try if you get results via the Additional Conditions dialog using the "contains (substring)" operator for the "Name or title" field:
