Search is not giving back the asked results (two criteria)

Dear all,

I tried to start a search to find entries containing a certain author that also have PDFs attached.

I chose advanced search in my library where all of those are definitely saved and entered:

Find results with ALL of the following

Author contains [name] (I chose the wildcard variant so: [initial]% [last name])
Datatype of attachment is PDF

I get zero results for this even though there should be over a hundred. It works perfectly for one criteria but with two sth goes wrong. Any idea what is going wrong here?
  • Almost two and a half years later I would like to know the same.
  • "Creator" matches parent items and "Attachment File Type" matches child attachments, so these conditions will never produce a match. If you check "Include parent and child items of matching items", you might get what you want.
  • Thank you. That indeed was the solution.
