SYMPTOMS
When you use the &quot;item: &quot; search term to search for a specific item in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, more than one item is returned in the search results. For example, this problem occurs when you search for a specific item by using the following search term:

item:http:// /Shared%20Documents/ .doc



CAUSE
This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
 * The URL of the item that you searched for contains more than 64 characters.
 * The first 64 characters of the URL of the item that you searched for matches the first 64 characters of the URL of other items.

When you use the &quot;item: &quot; search term, SharePoint Server 2007 uses the first 64 characters of a URL to identify items. Therefore, if the first 64 characters of the URLs of other items match the URL that you specify in the &quot;item: &quot; search term, more than one item is returned in the search results. You do not experience this issue if the URL of an item contains less than 64 characters.
