SPS Search and multiple keywords (.doc / .pdf)



Hello,

I'm experiencing some behavioral differences in the SPS 2003 search
function between .DOC and .PDF documents. I set up the following
experiment:

- I start with one MS Word .doc file and one Adobe .pdf file.
- I assign the same set of three keywords to each file by opening the
file in its respective application and modifying the 'Keywords'
metadata property. Assume that the keywords are as follows (without the
quotation marks): "wordone; wordtwo; wordthree"
- I upload both files to a single document library in SharePoint.
- I set up a search scope to search only the document library in which
these two files reside.
- I perform a full re-indexing of my portal content.
- I perform a simple search for each of the keywords from the home page
of the portal.

Results:
The word document is returned in all cases, regardless of whether I
search for "wordone", "wordtwo", or "wordthree". The PDF document is
returned ONLY when I search for the first keyword in the list (in this
case, "wordone").

I am using the PDF+ iFilter from iFilterShop.

Can anyone suggest a reason (and remedy) for this difference in
behavior? Any comments are much appreciated.

Regards,
Benson
