CQL statement title~abc does not pick up a file abc.pdf.

Question

I have an attachment called ABC.pdf but the extension can be different. I wanted to use CQL to find this file but it does not work as expected.

When I use title~ABC, it returns nothing. When I do specify the full name including the extension, it works (title~ABC.pdf).

Is there a way to use this for attachment search that would really return any file containing the phrase irrelevant of the file extensions<

Probably will have to wait till search condition will be allowed to start with *..

I guess there is then probably no way to get results like that, not even attachments by file extensions.

Hi @PietroR you could try something like title ~ "ABC?" AND type = attachment
