Hello. I rely on this table quite a lot for finding things in the system. But I'm seeing some strange search results when I use the "for text" search that I can't understand. What is happening here:
1) When I use the "for text" box to search for: You are attempting to add a record to the system
... I get 835 results. That's fine.
2) Then when I add double quotes around that search string
I get only 2 results. Fantastic! That let's me quickly find what I am looking for.
3) And when I search for: Invalid value on Update
I get 2,365 results (as expected)
4) But when I search for that same value in double quotes...
I am STILL getting 2,301 results which is WAY MORE than I would expect.
So what am I not understanding about this "for text" search box or what am I not understanding about the Application Files (sys_metadata) table? Please. Thank you!
