SYMPTOMS
When you index a document on a server using Index Server 2.0, if the document contains a name that uses initials (for example W.A. Wilde), the query for that string may appear to be case sensitive. For example, if you query for &quot;W.A. Wilde,&quot; Index Server finds the document; however, if you query for &quot;W.A. wilde,&quot; Index Server fails to find the document.



WORKAROUND
Although this appears to be a case sensitive issue, if you replace the periods with spaces, Index Server will find the document.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Index Server 2.0.
