We will enable a new improved pilot version of "New Search" with CRM Online 10.1.5 (planned roll-out starts 30.08.2022) for our pilot customers.

Introducing partial word matching, extending the freetext index to also include partial words.
Background: Newsearch used to have begins with, then running a contains search in parallel.
The contains search is slow, as it means a table scan in the db when looking through records.

After introducing partial word matching, we still do begins with in NewSearch. Searching for 'office' will now also return 'SuperOffice' on begins with.
Hits on first part of words are prioritized above second part of the word, which means when searching for 'office', you will get hits on 'Officeline' prioritized above 'SuperOffice'.

Change 1) User can type in 'office' and find 'SuperOffice'
Change 2) Users would like to search for '123' and get hits on 'SAP123'.  freetext index is now also splitting out and indexing numbers to support this. 
Change 3) Users would like to search for IBM and get hits on I.B.M. Freetext indexer is stripping out quotes and periodes, and is adding the stripped word into the db too. Searching for Super_Office would give you superoffice. 
Change 4) Supporting soundex search: If you misspell, you should get reasonable suggestions. Meaning, searching for 'superofice' should return 'superoffice'.

Major news in this version:

  • Freetext indexing extended, partial words added
  • Improved scoring/ranking of search-words
  • Better performance
