Dear DBA Gurus, I have a query for getting search results for a string like 100%. We are using a stop word in the preferences as % and setting the attribute as % in printjoins attribute in create preference. My Query is select * from myTable where contains (title, '100{%}') > 0. This returns the results properly. But if the query is select * from myTable where contains (title, '100 {%}') > 0, I am still getting the same results. (Note that there is a space after 100). Any idea to check this or how to give the String? Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
