I have an search issue (SharePoint 2010). If I search the ‘NAME’ or ‘TITLE’ of a particular document (.docx), I get search results for that document (I have confirmed the document has been crawled). Now, if I search text within the same document, I get no results for that document. Even if I use refiners, no results will show up. Any ideas on this one?
I finally resolved my issue. Text based searching was not working due to corrupted SharePoint filters (Microsoft Filter Pack 2.0). This was possible due to either server updates or Sharepoint security updates installed on my SharePoint Farm.
First step was to remove the faulty filter pack installation and re-install it (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42229) After which I ‘reset the index’ and conducted full crawls of all my content sources. After full crawls were completed, I was able to perform text based searching again.
