Hi Dale,

this is on your public installation at
http://discoverarchive.vanderbilt.edu/ right ?

I saw this example:
http://discoverarchive.vanderbilt.edu/handle/1803/2949

with the title:
15 B. John Garrick: "What Have We Learned About Geological Disposal from the
Yucca Mountain Experience?"

I tried to retrieve it with the search queries Experience? and
"Experience?". Strangely enough, the second query returned over a thousand
results, while the first one only gave 43. Searching on Yucca Mountain
Experience works, but it doesn't when including the question mark at the
end.

In Lucene in general, the question mark symbol is a "any character"
wildcard. But any character should also match with an actual question mark,
right?

I tried a similar test on another repository, where it did seem to work:
using the query *Is what you see what you are?* gives
https://lirias.kuleuven.be/handle/123456789/146635 as the first search
result when using the simple search.

So it might be something related to your configuration, as opposed to a
general problem.
Although I don't have the answer, still hope this helps.

Bram

Xperia(TM) PLAY
It's a major breakthrough. An authentic gaming
smartphone on the nation's most reliable network.
And it wants your games.
