Users with German locale are not able to find entries with number, which contains two dots in it - e.g. "82.3189.37" (actually, Latvian locale does the same trick). When users with English locale are searching for the same number, they are able to find the corresponding entry.

I assume, that it is because dots are used to separate thousands in German language - e.g. 1.000.500,50 Eur.

There could be a workaround for users with German locale, but it doesn't work for users with English locale (see table below).

  • 82.3189.37 - German: no results - English: one entry found
  • 82.3189* - German: one entry found - English: no results
  • 82.3189.* - German: one entry found - English: no results
  • 82.3189 37 - German: one entry found - English: no results

One more possible workaround could be to set English for "My Content and Search Languages" of "Language and Region" settings in user profiles, but maybe there is a better solution?

Best regards, Aleks

At this moment we didn't find better solution to just add English to My Content and Search Languages of user profile settings.

Users can do it by themselves as well (in SP 2013 on-premises):

About Me > editing your profile > ... > Language and Region > expand Show Advanced language Settings > add English to My Content and Search Languages > Save all and close

Please note, that it could take up to one hour to changes take effect (depending on how timer job is configured).
