In V12 the search term is automatically split into single subterms what can be useful especially in German with its many compound words.
For example, Radialwellendichtring to Radial-wellen-dicht-ring
For all resulting combinations, searches are performed, and in this case it really makes sense because there are different spellings over all catalogs.
Also a turn of single parts leads to desired results.
With correct sequence even a phrase search would lead to the desired results, so for example:
In V11 there were only hits with exact accordance compared to the search term.
A combination of characters, numbers and signs is automatically fragmented in its subparts internally at empty spaces, separators and transitions between different types of characters (numerical/alphanumerical), so that at these places also divergent separations will be tolerated.
89AB123.567
In this case the following search would be successful as well:
123 567
ABC1234DEF
ABC-1234-DEF
ABC 1234 DEF
as well.[22]
Words in the beginning of a field are ranked higher (NN, NT and NB)
In compound words (only concerns German), the last component has a higher rank.
For example, when searching for schraube the result Sechskantschraube has a higher rank than Schraubendreher.
When searching for multiple words, results where these words are in the same order are ranked higher.
Exact word matches receive a higher rank.
A search for bolt prioritizes bolt before hexagon bolt.
This means, hits with only bolt will be listed before hits with hexagon bolt.
In V11, an accumulation of same words reduced the rank. This is removed in V12.
In V12, order numbers with empty spaces and special characters are also found even if the spelling is not quite correct.
The following order number contains empty spaces.
XVEWO NW 10 HL
It is even found when searching without empty spaces.
XVEWONW10HL
If a search terms includes zeros, the search is performed both with the original search term and in addition with extracted zeros. If both methods lead to results, exact accordances are higher ranked and so are listed on top.
