Am I missing something so obvious with authoring search function

Hi all, 
 

This might be an obvious question with an obvious answer but what is the fastest way to search for a page when you know the page URL name in this case “chris-phillips.html” .

As an admin and “helpdesk” for 100+ authors I have touched thousands of pages in some form or another so when I search for a page that I know exists, with the exact URL name it shows all the pages I have modified, created or published. Search seems to ignore the “-” in the query so it looks for every instance my name appears. All I want to show/find is the editable page quickly as do all the editors I help.

Is this possible or is the search in AEM so useless it cannot do the simplest of tasks or is there a fix/hack I can share with my authors to help streamline their work to find/update pages faster?

Cheers

Chris

Showing all pages with reference to my name
This is the page I want, but it’s never the first result despite asking for the correct name of the page

Hi ​@ChrisPhillipsUC ,
This shouldn’t happen. Please ask the dev team if they have made any changes related to oak index/omnisearch/lucene

Hi Kapil, 

Our developers haven’t touched this area. How can we determine if we are using the correct version of lucene or if the latest SDK update has caused something to change? 

Should we raise a support ticket with Adobe to investigate?

Yes, you should raise a support ticket because I tested it, and it's working fine on my end.
