Hi Rui,

This is not KIM's limitation but rather a limitation of the default full 
text indexing mechanism of Lucene that we use as a document storage and 
indexing engine. Namaley it ignores numbers and most of the special symbols 
i.e. implements a 'text' search. It's not a question of capital or small 
letters since "agcj-kqm" will not be found in the same way as "AGCJ-KQM" 
because of the hiphen. One more thing - the default textual search is case 
insensitive i.e. "bank of amsterdam" will give the same as "BANK of 
Amsterdam".

I am sorry that you are not able to search by feature values of the complex 
type given in your mail. Are you just testing the functioanlity or do you 
really need this? In the later case - do you have any way to workaround this 
and bring those values to text? Just tell me, and I will provide assistance 
as much as I can.

Regards,
Ilian

Subject: [KIM-discussion] Possible bug: KIM is not able to find some 
features


    Dear KIM developers,

    We are working in the KIM API and we have detected a limitation. When a 
new document is created, it is possible to assign some features to it and 
search for documents based on them. However, it is only possible to retrieve 
documents if their feature's value is composed only by letters in lowercase. 
For example, if you define a feature called "ID" and assign a value 
"A27F98F" or "AGCJ-KQM" or "349860435", KIM is not able to find based on 
these values. However, there is no problem if the value is "jkluoiewur" or 
any combination of lowercase letters only.
    Please, find attached a sample application (BugTest2.java) that 
demonstrates this behavior. It creates two documents (one with the id="a", 
and the other with id="a1") and tries to find them based on the "id".

    Is it a known limitation?

    Best regards,

    Rui Tramontin
