Hi, I was searching for files called Zippo\_VFXXX.pdf in my second hard drive with is indexed in DEVONsphere EXPRESS. If I use Search mode and ask for Zippo\_ the search goes well, but If I search for Zippo\_VF the results are not good. ![1.jpg](https://devontech-discourse.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/original/2X/9/94619a71189c36f2c34cb821c05f9f0d2f0d122b.jpeg) Also If if use the See Also mode the results are not good too… ![Captura de pantalla 2017-07-03 a las 20.53.41.png](https://devontech-discourse.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/original/2X/0/006ab8ac9814f8b78143e2a1e126794a91c8030f.png) ---

Hi cgrunenberg and thanks! If I use Zippo\_VF\* it seems to work. Where still no t working is on see also search but it’s strange because another similar file names are working… ![1.png](https://devontech-discourse.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/original/2X/f/fb7e1a39ea05b26fd689e8e76bfc2a9a7ba271d7.png) ![2.png](https://devontech-discourse.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/original/2X/a/aef92c04dd5722ea3ab46c10ffdb28d24d7a696a.png) Much thanks! ---
