Property values are inherently considered to be a list of strings. Typically this a good thing since it makes working with list of names very easy. Sometimes it makes things more difficult.
Name Property
The name property typically does not contain a comma. But when it does, the name is split into a couple of names.
One would expect that running an exact match query for "Doe, Jane" would yield a hit. But it does not.
A standard search has hits.
So the document is indexed with Lucene. But how can we specify an exact match query?
You need to mark the property to have only a single value. This is done with the control is-single-value.
Then exact match queries will work as expected.
Index Macros
Glossary Items may also contain a comma in their name. The Index Entries Table Macro and the Index Card Macro allow to reference glossary items to link to. From version 1.17 of the projectdoc Toolbox, these macros allow to specify the separator. Per default this is the comma. Since version 1.17 it is possible to specify the separator '\n' and provide each item on its own line.
