hmbixler 2 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 example I am searching for this note. NAPA 15 2010 Chevy HHR 3GNBAADB4AS546731. Using EN version 5.8.8.7776 and earlier versions. If I search for 546731, nothing appears. I am using the search box at the top of the page. The <CTRL> F rarely works for me. The search is successful when using ios devices. When I search for "NAPA 15" on WIN 7 it is found! I am searching serial numbers for recall information when I discovered this flaw. I have come across similar issues in the past too. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,130 Posted May 28, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hi. If you search the forum you should find several previous explanations - Search doesn't find parts of strings, only the start; so 3GNB should get a hit, any other part of that specific string won't. It's not a bug, more of a feature... Link to comment
hmbixler 2 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Yes I found this works. The search for "546731" works with iphone & ipad. My goal wasn't to find all the vehicles that begin with 3GN but the specific vehicle that ends 546731. I could have entered the whole serial number and found it too. Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,149 Posted May 28, 2015 Level 5 Share Posted May 28, 2015 If the last 5 digits are important, you can make them searchable.First find all the notes that contain NAPA and then 1.) Force a space before the 5 digits. Example:3GNBAADB4AS 546731 or if the complete # (VIN number) is important 2.) Copy & Paste a copy of the # under the original and add the space to the duplicate #Example:3GNBAADB4AS5467313GNBAADB4AS 546731 Link to comment
